17. The Need for Ever Fresher Corpses
When Kuno Hofmann’s grave robbing and sexual molestation of corpses failed to make him handsome and popular, he reasoned it was because the corpses were not fresh enough. So he decided to get the freshest possible corpses, by killing people.
Hofmann’s first victims were lovers in a car. After shooting them dead, he drank the blood from their wounds, then he had sex with the girl’s corpse. As he told police, he liked her more than the graveyard corpses. He killed another victim, and would have gone on killing more, if his spree had not been cut short by his arrest. Hofmann was deemed insane, and ordered confined in a mental asylum for the rest of his life.
