'With every piece of flesh I ate I remembered him.'

A 42-YEAR-OLD German yesterday admitted killing, dismembering and eating the flesh of another man whom he had recruited on the internet but said his victim had been willing.

Armin Meiwes, a computer expert who lived in a half-timbered former manor in the town of Rotenburg, found his 43-year-old victim in cyberspace and killed him after they met in March 2001.

Prosecutors say the killing was sexually motivated and filed murder charges, despite concluding that the killing had the victim's consent.
