(London) A British man stabbed a sex partner to death, butchered a section of the man’s thigh, seasoned it with herbs, cooked it and then ate it for dinner a court in Leeds has been told.

Prosecutor Andrew Stubbs told the court that Morley and Oldfield had met on April 23 and went back to Morley’s house where they had sex.

Morley, 36, then attacked Oldfield, slashing his throat and stabbing him numerous times.

Morley, wearing a white dressing gown and flip flops, then walked casually down the street to a restaurant and told the staff that he killed someone.

Employees alerted police.

Officers found “meat” in a stewing pot in the kitchen and more “meat” in a garbage bag. Forensic tests showed it to be human.

Investigators said they did not know how much of the thigh had been eaten.

“From a chopping board on one of the kitchen units, six pieces of cooked flesh, which had been seasoned with fresh herbs and fried in olive oil were recovered,” Stuffs told the court.

At the time Morley was employed as a chef at a well known area restaurant. Oldfield worked as an advertising salesman on a Leeds-based magazine.

Morley’s attorney, Robert Smith, said Oldfield had attempted to rape his client. He said that he would seek a psychiatric evaluation.

It is not the first time a gay man has been arrested for murder and cannibalizing his victims.

Two separate cases occurred in Germany.

The most famous involved Armin Meiwes, 44, who is serving time for murdering and devouring Bernd Juergen Brandes, 43, in 2001.

Meiwes and Brandes met through an internet bulletin board or BBS for gay men interested in a cannibalism fetish.

“If you are between 18 and 25 years old you are my boy. Come to me and I eat your horny flesh” his ad said.

The case came to light when Meiwes posted more ads after Meiwes death for additional victims, and readers of the postings contacted police.

When police searched Meiwes’ home they discovered neatly wrapped body parts in plastic bags which were labeled “according to cuts.”  Bones and other “non edibles” were found buried in the garden. Meiwes told police he already had  consumed about 40 pounds of Brandes’s body.

He told police that the two men had enjoyed a final meal together.  Brandes had agreed to be castrated and the two sautéed his penis and testicles.  They washed down the meal with a German white wine.

The other German case of gay man who killed his partner in 2005, dismembered him, and then froze the body parts to eat later.

Last year in Mexico City, a bisexual man and his gay lover were arrested for the murder and cannibalization of his some-time girlfriend.
