His defense was that the death was consensual, and could not be considered murder. He was tried and first sentenced to 8 years, but public outcry soon called for a second trial, and he was given life in prison. A young man noticed it, and reported it to the police.

They may have been told in more detail or with better prose on other websites, to which I include links so you can find out more if you like. I’ve got a few of these stories written up and waiting to get posted to the internet someplace, they’re true stories. Ok ok fine…the story of the cannibal, Armin Meiwes.
