The bone parts found eleven days ago in Pankow come from a person, Stefan T. de Lichtenberg, who has been missing since September 5. Police announced Thursday.
Police have evidence of cannibalism, as the prosecution, Martin Steltner, confirmed to the German press agency on Thursday night. The newspaper “Bild” had previously reported that the investigators assumed an act of cannibalism for sexual reasons.
This is supported by the fact that the bone found was said to have no meat, he said, citing law enforcement circles. Consequently, it is assumed that T., 44, was the victim of a cannibal.
Earlier it was officially said that the police suspected that T. had become the victim of a sexual murder on low grounds. A 41-year-old man from Pankow was arrested Wednesday on “urgent suspicion of homicide,” police said Thursday. He was taken into custody and a judge issued an arrest warrant on suspicion of sexual murder on low grounds.
So far, the suspect, a high school teacher, has remained silent, the “Bild” newspaper reported. The records of the conversation between victim T. and the suspect should show that the two had agreed to meet.

According to the report, the suspect should not only have searched the internet for dates. Rather, the researchers are said to have found out in his Google search history that he should have been interested in cannibalism.
Since September 5, Stefan T. had disappeared without a trace, the installer of the tall cable construction had left their shared apartment in Lichtenberg shortly before midnight. The case is reminiscent of the “cannibals of Rotenburg”.
Memory of the “cannibals of Rotenburg”
In March 2001, a man who was then 39 years old castrated, killed, massacred and later partially ate a 43-year-old engineer from Berlin. The case was not discovered until December 2002.
Consequently, in front of the camera, the perpetrator killed the victim, allegedly with his full consent, and ate parts of her. The man divided the human meat, the police found it, divided into plastic bags, in his freezer.
Impersonator in Neukölln: “Metzger030” hit in 2004
In 2004, a man from Neukölln tried to imitate the “man-eater from Rotenburg”. In 2004, a painter had posted an ad on an Internet forum under the pseudonym “Metzger30” under the title “Septemberbraten”.
I was looking for a “man who was available as a feast.” But in the end, the Neukölln man backed down: he did not eat his victim’s flesh.
