A former German cop will stew in prison for 8½ years for cutting up a man he met on a cannibalism fetish website that billed itself as the “#1 site for exotic meat.”

Detlev Guenzel, 57, a former forensic handwriting expert, buried the pieces of Wojciech Stempniewicz, 59, in the garden of his bed-and-breakfast in Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau in November 2013, Sky News reported.

There was no evidence that Guenzel ate any part of the mutilated Polish-born business consultant after using a knife and an electric saw to carve up his victim. The cause of death was asphyxiation, an autopsy found.

The men’s email exchanges on the ghoulish site had the title “Schlachtfest” – German for a country feast after a pig’s slaughter.

“He killed and dismembered him to get sexual stimulation,” Dresden chief prosecutor Andreas Feron said during the trial.

His defense team argued that the victim hanged himself in Guenzel’s “S&M studio.”

“In our eyes, and in the eyes of our client, it is about a suicide,” attorney Endrik Wilhelm said.

Judge Birgit Wiegand said: “He was found guilty of murder and disturbing the peace of the dead.”
