In episode 43 of “Murder on Sunday,” Sabrina Mehler and Daniela Petersen delve deep into one of Germany’s most disturbing criminal cases: the case of the Rotenburg cannibal.

Fulda/Rotenburg – The focus is not only on the act itself, but above all on the question: How does a personality like Armin Meiwes develop? The two of them invited two special guests.

Dr. Helge Laubinger, specialist in neurology as well as psychiatry and psychotherapy, analyzes the psychological background and provides insights into possible structures of an extremely deviant personality.

In addition, Steffen Reith, who served in the Bundeswehr together with Armin Meiwes during his military service, talks about his personal impressions and how Meiwes worked in everyday life – long before the public knew his name.
