Armin Miewes was banged up for eight-and-a-half years in 2004 after being found guilty of the manslaughter of Bernd Juergen Brandes. But a judge ordered a retrial as he felt the punishment was too lenient.

Prosecutors argue Miewes is likely to reoffend after he admitted fantasising about devouring the flesh of attractive young people.
