Slovak Cannibal to Suicidal Person: Hey, Can I Eat Your Body After You Die?

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — A would-be cannibal was arrested and in critical condition after being wounded in a gunbattle with officers during an undercover operation, officials said Wednesday. A policeman was also wounded.

The 43-year-old suspect used the Internet to search for a person who wanted to commit suicide and would agree to let him eat the body, police said. A Swiss citizen initially agreed but later changed his mind and informed authorities.

An undercover officer who pretended he was the would-be victim was used during Tuesday’s operation, police said. He arrived at the eastern town of Kysak to meet the suspect, who opened fire seven times, striking one officer who remains hospitalized in serious condition.

TA3 television said the suspect, a father of two young daughters, lived in a nearby village of Sokol. Interior Minister Daniel Lipsic said he declined to say where he was from or further details.

Police spokeswoman Denisa Baloghova said Wednesday the suspect was shot several times and is unable to speak with investigators.

Jaroslava Oravcova, spokeswoman for a university clinic in the second largest city of Kosice, said the suspect underwent a five-hour operation and was in life-threatening condition.

Slovak authorities said the suspect agreed on a plan with the would-be victim to intoxicate him and then stab him in the heart with a knife in nearby woods. After that, he wanted to cut the body into pieces and gradually take them to his home to eat them.

Following a search of the suspect’s home, Baloghova said the evidence gathered “indicates he wanted to commit the crime.”

    This isn’t the first time it has happened in Europe. A few years ago in Germany a guy placed a ad on the internet stated he want a human body to eat. Believe it or not like this guy had people answer the ad. They meet and had a set down dinner . After the dinner the cannibal killed the guy and ate his body. But to bad for the cannibal the German police caught and he was convicted of murder, I have a feel that this goes on a lot more than we know about.

    Shot seven times and still allowed to live and given life saving care.

    What part about being an intended murderer and cannibal does not come across as being bad here?

    He was allowed to live. If incarcerated, there is always a chance he can escape and do what he wanted to do this time.

    Shot seven times and then saved – the world is a curious place.

    I think the reason we disapprove of cannibalism is in deference to the understanding that the human being, dead or alive, is more than just a chunk of animated meat.

    Of course, the definitive exploration of cannibalism can be found in Robert Heinlein’s “Stranger In A Strange Land.”

    / Well, that and Monty Python’s “Undertaker Sketch” (see linky above.)

    If he now has to have something amputated after being shot by police, perhaps the surgeons can put it in a to-go container for him to snack on later.

    eating dead people with their prior consent shouldnt be a crime

    what exactly is the crime there?

    what if the guy had cut off a piece of his flesh and given it to the man to eat? would the guy go to prison for eating it?

    i dont think “Cannibalism” is some heinous crime if the people want to be eaten after they die

    whats the difference between eating them, and chopping them up into pieces and selling them for Gigantic profits by hospitals who got the cadaver for free?

    .if anything, he just needs to receive professional psychological help, not thrown in prison.. he didnt really do anything wrong.. he was descent and polite enough to ask someone nicely if he could eat their cadaver.. seems rather civil, not inherently dangerous..

      Well…the crime here is the assisting in the suicide I would imagine. I’m not sure why that is a crime in the first place, but it is. As for the cannibalism, I don’t see why anyone should care. If the person agrees to be eaten after they are dead, then who cares? Animals cannibalize their own after they die, and we are not that far off from the rest of them.

      The only issue is a moral one, and if they don’t believe it will cause any harm religiously or something, then have at it. It doesn’t effect anyone other than themselves.

      I am not quite sure if the charges would be eating the human flesh, it just might be killing the guy first. Now it is shooting at police and attempted murder of at least two of them. This was not a peace loving guy. I think the police did the right thing here. The plan was clearly murder first and then feasting. There is something fundermentally wrong with a human eating another human flesh except in very extreem situations. I remember a story many years back where a small plane crashed and there were survivors. They had to eat some of the dead to stay alive. They did it and were not charged with any crime. However, this is not anything like that story.

      well.. in fact.. necrophilia, is in the same category as homosexualism, or sex with animals, or sex with food, or other disorders

      if the person gave their consent prior to their death.. i think having sex with the cadaver of your loved one is better than how the medical industry will treat it

      is necrophilia even a crime?

      so them should sex with animals be

      and so then should homosexual sex
