Cannibal 'incapable of tender feelings'

The German cannibal who confessed to killing a man and eating his flesh is incapable of showing “warm and tender feelings” toward other people, but is not mentally ill, a court heard today.

Armin Meiwes, 42, has a “schizoid personality” and difficulty in forming relationships, psychiatrist Georg Stolpmann told the state court in Kassel.
