I wanted to kill again, says German cannibal
Mon Dec 8, 9:51 AM ET Add World - AFP to My Yahoo!

KASSEL, Germany (AFP) - A German cannibal standing trial for murder admitted that he had been on the hunt for another person to eat when he was arrested for killing and consuming a first victim.

Armin Meiwes, who insists the man he ate had given his consent, wrote to a friend saying that the flesh was nearly all gone.

The court was due later Monday to view the key evidence -- hours of graphic home-made video tapes showing the killing, dissection and partial consumption of his allegedly willing victim.

It was understood the public would likely be excluded when the footage was shown at the court in Kassel, central Germany.

In evidence Monday, the 42-year-old computer technician, who denies murder but admits killing and eating a man, said he had been looking on the Internet for a fresh victim when he was arrested a year ago.

"I hope I will soon find another victim, the flesh has almost all gone," he wrote in an email to a friend.

Explaining the email, he said: "It was still my wish to slaughter a human, in other words, to dissect a body."

His plan was to share the final remains of his victim, Bernd-Juergen Brandes, with his next prey before proceeding to the killing, he added.

But he insisted he never got that far.

"I'd just like to say that I didn't kill anyone else although I would have done if the chance had presented itself," he told police under interrogation, according to a transcript read out in court.

In another email he gave tips to a contact on how to "chat up" a potential victim.

A police official said in evidence that suggestions of other cannibalistic activities could not be confirmed.

Meiwes said Brandes "disappointed me in many ways."

Brandes, an engineer aged 43 from Berlin, had lied about his age, claiming in emails to be 36, and did not want to get to know Meiwes better before his planned death, the accused said.

He insisted Brandes was a willing accomplice in his own death.

"I saw the killing as helping him, helping him to die, helping him to kill himself," he said. "That is a taboo for which I must justify myself before God and the whole world.

"It was the most terrible moment in my life, far worse that I had imagined it in my fantasies."

He said he wished he had seen a psychologist about his cannibal fantasies, "then things wouldn't have gone so far."

Prosecutors, however, claim Meiwes is guilty of murder for taking advantage of his victim's apparent death wish.

He faces life in jail if convicted of the main charge of murder for sexual satisfaction. He is also accused of disturbing the peace of the dead. (New one to me )

Defence lawyers argue that he is guilty only of "killing on demand," which is punishable by up to five years in prison.

On the first day of his trial last week, Meiwes explained in graphic detail how he met Brandes over the Internet after advertising for someone willing to be killed and eaten. (He advertised on the interent? )

Brandes travelled to his home in Rotenburg, near Kassel. There, Meiwes cut off his victim's penis, which they tried to eat.

Later on the evening of March 10, 2001, Meiwes stabbed Brandes, carved the body into pieces, stored some of the flesh in a freezer, most of which he ate, and buried bones and the skull in the garden.

He was arrested after an Austrian student saw another advertisement Meiwes had posted on the Internet and alerted police.

NEW YORK (CBS) What CBS 2 found that some of the most famous stores in our
area are doing is not only disgusting, it's dangerous. Selling used
lingerie. Shame On You went undercover and what we found is shocking. CBS
2's Arnold Diaz has more on this dirty little secret.

Our hidden camera investigation of Victoria's Secret and some other major
retailers has uncovered a dangerous and appalling practice that shocked
customers when we told them.

"It's just disgusting."

"I just think it's pretty gross."

"This is serious. This is real serious."

John, not his real name, is a disgruntled former employee of two Victoria's
Secret stores. He came to us with the revolting allegation that it was store
practice to take back used underwear and then resell it.

"When women would come in, I would be disgusted. I knew they were returning
something they wore out to a date or just wore out to a club and it's like,
you want another woman to buy this?" said John.

Diaz asked John if there were there times that he put back underwear that he
was pretty sure was used, "Yeah, all the time, all the time. I don't even
like touching it, I hold it by the tag because I don't want to put my hands
on that."

Could this be true? To find out we bought thong underwear at two Victoria's
Secret stores, and at Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's. We took
them home, cut off the sales tags to suggest they'd been worn then marked
each pair with two tiny black dots on the labels.

Every store took back our thongs without the tags, never asking if they'd
been worn. Next our hidden camera caught the sales clerk at a Victoria's
Secret attaching a new price tag on our returned thong, hanging it up and
then putting it back on the floor for sale. We know it's the same thong
because our two dots were on the label. Unbelievably, it's not illegal in
the tri-state area to sell used underwear, but "It could get someone sick."

Microbiologist Dr. Lori Daane says dangerous bacteria like yeast and ecoli
can survive for weeks on lingerie and can be easily transferred. "Given the
fact that you can get these organisms on this clothing, especially thong
underwear, it's pretty likely you're going to get some fecal contamination."

We also found our returned thongs back on the sales floor at another
Victoria's Secret, at Saks Fifth Avenue and at Macy's. Bloomingdale's was
the only store where we didn't see our thong back on sale. Lingerie
customers were horrified at our findings.

"Who the heck wants to wear someone else's underwear. That's not a good
thing."

"I don't think they should take them back at all. I mean I think it should
be, you buy them once and they're done."

One woman approached us claiming to be a customer of Victoria's Secret but
turned out to be an employee.

When asked why she put used underwear back out she responded, "I don't think
we would do that. We would never do that."

But when Diaz pointed out that there were pictures she said, "You do? I
don't think that's fair what you're doing."

"I don't think it's fair you're putting used underwear back out," asked
Diaz. "We would never do that," was the employee's answer.

In an official statement Victoria's Secret says "Our policy is to not sell
used merchandise. Rest assured, we will investigate your allegations
thoroughly."

Bloomingdale's, where we did not find our returned thong back on the sales
floor says, "...any garment that shows any sign of wear, including no
ticket, is marked out of stock."

Macy's East says, "...we have guidelines and practices for merchandise such
as intimate apparel, we train our sales associates to thoroughly inspect all
merchandise [that is returned]. This should insure that only clean, sellable
items are on our selling floor."

Saks Fifth Avenue says, "if merchandise looks like it's in saleable
condition and has not been worn, we do put it back on the sales floor. We
trust our sales associates to make good judgments about the saleability of
returned merchandise and in most cases they do."

But john says it's not always obvious what's been worn, "The only way you
could, like, damage it out, is if it's ripped or if it's really, really
stained and, you know, where it's really noticed. But sometimes you can't
notice it."

So into the CBS 2 Hall Of Shame we induct Victoria's Secret, Saks Fifth
Avenue and Macy's for a filthy practice that puts their customers' health at
risk.

Interestingly, in New York it's illegal to sell hats that have been returned
but not thong underwear.

Some stores do refuse to take back underwear, a policy that should be
posted. But the best protection for consumer s is to wash, wash, wash your
underwear before putting it on.

Offer of crabs for drugs draws gunfire, police say
By J.R. GONZALES
Staff Writer

Police say a Columbia man serving up crab legs to buy some drugs found himself fleeing gunfire Tuesday night.

Just before 11 p.m., a 46-year-old man offered the seafood to another man in exchange for narcotics at a home in the 2400 block of Washington Street, according to a police report.

A fight ensued and the potential buyer ran out into the street whilethe drug dealer fired shots at him, according to the report.

Police say no one was injured in the shooting, but a 1992 Mazda 929 was hit several times by gunfire when the potential buyer hid behind the car.

Police did not release the names of the two men involved.

No charges have been filed and no arrests have been made, said Columbia police spokesman Skot Garrick. Authorities did not know what type drugs the man tried to buy, or where he got the crab legs.

Crab legs can fetch high prices, said Lucius Moultrie, owner of Palmetto Seafood Co.

“Crab legs are sweet and it’s considered almost a delicacy,” he said.

King crab legs can sell for between $10 and $27 a pound, he said. Snow crab legs sell for less, starting at $5 a pound.

“We don’t know what kind of crabs legs they were,” Garrick sa

Man Jailed for Declaring Parents Dead 40 Times
Fri Dec 12, 3:48 PM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!



BERLIN (Reuters) - A German has been jailed for declaring his parents dead 40 times in order to get charity hand-outs, a court said on Friday. Oh yeah -- they are alive and well.



The 31-year-old prevailed upon churches and individuals to part with about 6,000 euros ($7,300) in total to ease the pain of his mother's or father's "passing," a court spokesman in the western city of Bonn said.


He was sentenced to three years in jail for 40 successful acts of fraud.


"He would ask them for money to get to the funeral, usually his mother's, and then spend it on drugs," the spokesman said.


The litany of faked deaths came to an end when a woman he approached for a donation became suspicious.
