An Austrian murderer who dismembered a prostitute and made goulash from some of her remains was jailed for life today. The man, named only as Alfred U, 64, admitted the crime after already spending roughly half his life behind bars for a series of offences, often sadistic and sexual in nature. A Vienna court passed sentence on grandfather-of-seven Alfred, 13 months after the headless torso of his year-old victim was found at the bottom of the Neusiedler See lake on the Hungarian border.
Alfred said he had killed the Hungarian sex worker following an argument at his home over payment and services. But I didn't want to go back to prison,' he told the court. He acknowledged having cooked and frozen some of the body parts as a goulash in his home 'perhaps to taste one day'. Defence lawyer Astrid Wagner said her client would appeal the length of the sentence on the grounds the murder was not premeditated. DNA samples enabled investigators to track the killer after the torso was hauled from the lake on April 13 last year, two weeks after he says he murdered the sex worker.
German language website Heute Today reported that Alfred had met his victim at West Railway Station and gave her his last 50 euros, wanting 'a little tenderness, finally feeling skin again'. But when he bared himself in his bedroom, the victim began to laugh before Alfred choked her, dragged her to the bathroom and dismembered her, Heute reported.
Alfred then packed the woman's remains into rubbish bags, which he loaded in to his old Mercedes, and took back his 50 euros to pay for fuel to drive to his reed hut in Rust, Burgenland and disposed of the body in the lake, it was said. He said he had forgot about a body part left in Vienna and could not afford another trip to Rust, so he crushed it and froze it, thinking he could eat it later, according to reports.
