A German Federal court today ordered a retrial for a German who was convicted last year of killing and eating another man.

Germany’s highest court is expected to rule today on a prosecution request to increase a sentence to life in prison for a man convicted of killing and eating another man.

A GERMAN who confessed to killing, dismembering and eating another man who allegedly agreed to the arrangement was yesterday convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison.

The smiling cannibal who ate his willing victim was cleared of murder today at the end of a trial that shocked Germany with its macabre revelations.
