ARUSHA, Tanzania 3 Dec., 2003. In the first verdict of its kind since the Nuremberg trials, an international court today convicted three Rwandan news media executives of genocide for helping to incite a killing spree by machete-wielding gangs who slaughtered about 800,000 Tutsis in neighboring Rwanda in early 1994.

Today's Observer carried the story of that German cannibal on trial, but there's a bit more mind-boggling stuff in an Australian paper, including the following...
 The trial of Armin Meiwes, a 42-year-old former soldier, is the first cannibal case in Germany since that of Fritz Haarmann, who killed at least 26 young men and drank their blood in the 1920s. He was executed in 1925. Meiwes, by contrast, is a thoroughly modern cannibal who used internet chatrooms to lineup a parade of apparently willing would-be victims. One, identified only as Matteo from Italy, wanted to be nailed to a St Andrew's Cross and have a flamethrower directed at his genitals. Another wanted to be eaten in time for the Russian Orthodox Christmas. A man identified as Andreas from Regensburg wanted to be collected in a cattle wagon, pushed into a cage in Meiwes's improvised attic "slaughter room" and given the chance to lick his bloodstained rubber boots. An unidentified German living in London visited Meiwes and wanted to be handcuffed and have labels pinned to his body marking him out for butchery.
