BludgeonedExistenc is right..
Bernd, the man who responded to the advertisement, originally wanted Armin to bite it off.. but that didn't work, so he had to use a knife. Bernd originally tried to eat it raw, but it was too tough, so they cooked it instead, but after cooking it, it was too burnt to eat.
He bled for three hours in a tub untill Armin Meiwes finally stabbed him in the throat and hung him on the meathook in "the slaughter room" (A room specificly created for that purpose), and tore off pieces of his flesh, storing him in the freeezer under pizza boxes and eating him gradually over the next few months.
he was caught about a year later when a man saw the add on the website and contacted police, and his original sentence was only 8 years in jail, since at the time, cannibalism wasn't illegal in Germany.
