Cannibal Killer Gets Life

A German identified only as "Jan O.," who admitted eating the flesh of one of his two teenage victims, has been sentenced to life in prison. The killer, 26, confessed to licking blood from the wound of a 14-year-old girl he murdered and eating her flesh. He had lured her to the woods intending to rape her, reports the AP, but cut her throat instead, the court was told. Five days later he sexually assaulted and killed a 13-year-old boy. "I don't know what came over me," the killer told the victims' families in court. The judge said the murders showed an "almost unimaginable dimension of criminality." (More cannibalism stories.)
