His own computer was used to surf internet sites set up and frequented by fetishists and sadists. He could never raise the money to see the scheme through, however, and one room of the house still contains the broken and jumbled remains of a half-dozen machines. He had developed a fascination for computers as a young man and once planned to make his fortune by setting up a computer school in the manor house. The internet became the instrument by which Meiwes was finally toppled into the darkness. By denying normal relationships and feelings he was forever slipping closer to an abyss from which it would be impossible to pull back." "He wanted her love above all and after that the love of his brothers. "Meiwes was Oedipal in his love for his mother," the Berlin psychiatrist Kristiane Lang said. While his mother was alive, he appeared unwilling to relinquish his last hold on heterosexuality, but after her death his thoughts turned exclusively to gay sex, murder, dismemberment and cannibalism. He pursued gay relationships among his army buddies, but also frequented bars used by prostitutes. It was linked inextricably to increasingly strong homosexual tendencies. There was, he admitted, an overwhelming desire to eat a person, to consume someone utterly. From that moment, alone in the echoing old house, he began to turn his shocking fantasies into reality.Īt one point, he fashioned pieces of pork into the shape of a penis and ate it. She had suffered from cancer for some time and Meiwes had cared for her. On 2 September, 1999, Waltraud Meiwes did die. One of his neighbours asked him once why he never married. On a rare excursion from Rotenburg, she accompanied him and they shared a double room. And, although he joined the army, his work allowed him to continue living at home. "He was a lonely, introverted boy." But he always forgave his mother her outbursts. "He was like the outsider - the family runt," said Kerstin Spang, who lives near the old mansion. He left her, but the young Armin had no choice. His mother married three times, but her third husband, like his predecessors, it seemed, could not cope with her overbearing and domineering personality.

But why? Armin Meiwes was born into an affluent family whose emotional and financial decline is mirrored in the flaking, crumbling manor house that stands in overgrown grounds in the pretty village of Rotenburg in central Germany.Īt the age of eight, all the men in Armin's life disappeared: one brother, Wolfgang, became a priest in Berlin, another, Ingolbert, moved away permanently and his father left his mother. Yet there appears to have been a sick hatred amid all this devotion. He was always trying to win her approval - he spent most of his time looking after her." "He was a mother's boy," neighbour Joerg Monkermoeller said. In another room, she preserved his favourite toys: a train set, a model of a German castle - but on the table where they stand he has placed the bleached skull of a cow.
