Sedan. After finding the remains of a Lichtenberg man who had been missing for more than two months, the prosecution issued an arrest warrant for a 41-year-old man from Pankow. The man is a suspect in low-level sexual murder, as the prosecutor announced Thursday. The man has been in custody ever since.
Investigators with the sixth homicide squad arrested the man Wednesday after he was targeted by investigators through the evaluation of various chat groups. They had saved and analyzed the chat logs of suspect Stefan R. and victim Stefan T. They had both exchanged information on a dating platform for men and women. The image also reports on this case.
Suspect in group chats for cannibalism on the go
As Morgenpost learned from law enforcement circles, subsequent investigations revealed that the person arrested on Wednesday was also on internet cannibalism chat groups.
Therefore, there is a suspicion that the detained person may have killed his victim and then eaten parts of it. At least that would explain the bones found that were found without meat.

Corpse-sniffing dogs sniff body parts in cans
With this knowledge, the suspect’s apartment in Pankow on Parkstrasse was searched on Wednesday. Corpse detection dogs were also used. As the morning mail broke, the animals struck when they located freezers and cans. However, these were empty. Obviously, that was not enough for an arrest warrant, as this newspaper found out.
Only subsequent tests by forensic science experts are said to have made visible traces of the missing person’s blood in the apartment from which he was later arrested. The prosecution is said to have consented to the arrest. Additionally, a wheelbarrow and a freezer box were discovered and examined for traces.
In early November, walkers discovered several bones while walking their dog in a forest on the Buchholzer Graben. As a result, forensic medicine found and examined the remains.
The case remembers the cannibals of Rotenburg
The current case brings back memories of a 2001 case. At that time, Armin Meiwes, who became known as the “Rotenburg cannibal” after his act, killed his Berlin internet acquaintance Bernd Brandes and dismantled parts of her body. Eaten. Meiwes has been serving a life sentence for murder since 2006.
