I sought more victims, says cannibal case accused

A German computer expert who has confessed to killing and eating the flesh of an Internet acquaintance told his murder trial today that he subsequently sought more volunteers to share the same fate.

Armin Meiwes, 42, told the state court in the central city of Kassel that he looked for willing victims through Internet ads and chat rooms after the March 2001 killing of 43-year-old engineer Bernd Juergen Brandes at his home.
