A tough case. Probably a singularity of of a heinous crime.
Singularity, yes. I have little doubt that the killer is deeply, deeply disturbed mentally. I don’t know what ‘2nd degree murder’ is... is that something like ‘manslaughter’, or, at any rate, ‘not premeditated’? I’m from Holland. In our country such a murderer would, in all probability, get locked up for life in a special security prison for disturbed criminals (we call that: ‘at the disposal of the State’ - may sound odd in your ears).
BTW I am reminded of another unique and cannibalistically type of crime, four years ago in Germany. A lunatic met another lunatic on the internet, and lunatic #1 offered his body as a meal to lunatic #2, who was willing to eat #1. Both met at #2’s house for a ‘special dinner’... and they agreed upon frying #1’s penis for starters. After the castration they got just as far as agreeing that the penis did not taste well. Then #1 passed out (he was anaesthesized with an enormous amount of whiskey and prescription sedatives); and soon he bled to death. Lunatic #2 cut #1 into pieces and deep-freezed him; and got to eat some tens of kilogrammes of his ‘guest’ eventually, before the police found it all out.
Now that I am typing this, it seems a truly and literally incredible story... but it is true! Eeeeekkk!!
