Cannibal

Lois Jones examines the deeply disturbing 2001 German case of Armin Meiwes, the 'Rotenburg cannibal' who killed and consumed a willing victim he had recruited through an internet cannibal forum. The book probes the trial's unprecedented legal questions around consent, criminal pathology and whether a society can punish what both parties claimed to have freely desired.
