German court hears cannibal’s potential victims

A GERMAN court trying a self-confessed cannibal for murder heard evidence yesterday from two potential victims, including an office worker who disappointed the accused because he was too fat.

The stocky 28-year-old receptionist, who arrived at the court with a scarf wrapped around his head, was one of five cannibal fantasists due to testify in the trial of Armin Meiwes, who has admitted killing and eating one man.

The hearing was not open to the public or the media.
