German Satanists 'ate babies'
From Roger Boyes in Berlin
BABIES have been killed, sliced up and eaten by a German Satanist group, according to media reports yesterday, stirring fears that last month’s arrest of a self-confessed cannibal was not an isolated incident.
The prosecutor’s office in Trier, near the border with Luxembourg, said that it had been investigating alleged cases of cannibalism and rape by Satanists since the middle of last year. That is six months before another case of cannibalism — the eating of a software designer by a former soldier — came to light.
Police stumbled on the Satanist group when a 34-year-old woman gave evidence about a network whose members ate babies and raped women as part of an initiation rite.
Some of the alleged cannibal acts are said to go back 15 years.
The trial is expected to begin next month of Armin M., a former sergeant-major. The man advertised on the internet for young men to be slaughtered and eaten. Bernd Jürgen Brandes agreed to have an organ cut off and cooked.
The victim bled to death and was chopped up and deposited in the deep freeze of Armin M., who then ate the body parts.

TV Report Sparks Occult Fears in Germany
January 23, 2003
Just weeks after Germany became exposed to the reality of cannibalism, a television report has whipped up a fresh media storm.
Cannibalism hit the headlines in Germany at the end of last year with news of the gruesome last moments in the life of a 42-year-old homosexual man, who willingly agreed to his own murder.
Investigators believe the victim, Bernd Jurgen B. was fully aware of his situation, and of the intentions of his murderer to eat his flesh after killing him at his house near the city of Kassel.
The horrific crime, to which a 41-year-old computer systems expert has confessed, unleashed a wave of concern surrounding access via the internet to even the most bizarre of cult practices. The two men met in an internet chat room after the victim responded to one of dozens of ads placed by the suspect, looking for 'hunks to slaughter'.
Television report
The latest furore was sparked by a report transmitted earlier this week on Germany's public television station ZDF about cannibalism and cult rituals within the federal borders. The report contains testimony by two women and a young child, who claim to have witnessed horrifying occult rituals, in which people were murdered and sometimes eaten.
A report in the German news magazine, Der Spiegel says that following the ZDF programme, the district attorney's office in the southern German city of Trier has announced it is investigating several suspects in connection with "sexual practices against an occultist background. " Trier's Chief District Attorney, Georg Jungling, said the report described "horrible, almost unimaginable things".
Jungling, who has been investigating occultist claims by a 34-year- old woman since last year, added that the program had turned up some new details which would now have to be investigated. But he declined to comment on the reported Satanic acts of murder and cannibalism.
The report also provoked a comment from the German Minister of Justice, Brigitte Zypries. Speaking to the television network 'News 24', Zypries said that reported cases of occult practices in Trier should be taken seriously. She called on the German states to investigate the reports.
No Hard Evidence
Such reports about cannibalism are bound, if not designed to unleash both fear and skepticism. Speaking on ZDF, Sect Representative for the Evangelical Church, Ingolf Christiansen said "there is a lot of circumstantial evidence which points at groups which carry out such extreme and publicly dangerous crimes". And if the estimates given by Psychologist Rudolf Egg from the Centre of Criminology in Wiesbaden are anything to go by, then at least several hundred people in Germany are passively involved in bizarre occult practices.
Yet for all the estimation and circumstantial evidence, there appears so far to be no firm proof. With the Minister of Justice calling on the Federal states to set the wheels of investigation turning, perhaps it is simply a matter of time before a little light is shed on the currently dark occult rituals.
