5. The Cannibal Of Muensterberg – Karl Denke
Everyone would call him “Papa Denke,” a very active church member and also a bestowed figure in the town. Homeless vagabonds and poor travelers would spend nights at Papa Denke’s house. He was too kind that no one would bother to know about the buckets of blood he used to pour away behind the house. The records which he had, bearing the names of the victims, weight, and the date of killing showed 40 names when the police ransacked the house.
His last day reached when a neighbor heard some screams from his house. When the neighbor jumped in the house, he found a young man swimming in blood. The police reached right in time and he was thrown into the cell for questioning on December 21, 1924. Just hours before he could be called for questioning, the Cannibal of Muesterberg was no more; he hanged himself using a handkerchief.
