I know that only too well.

I suppose you're in favour of the ridiculous ideas put forward recently in America that women could change their mind about consenting to sex not only during, but AFTER? Your continued fascination with the victim's mental problems is falling on deaf ears because the 'murderer' had no idea. If I were to ask a girl to have sex with me, she did and then after leaving her in the stall and cleaning up I went home, would it make me a rapist if the next day with a clear head she decided it wasn't a good idea, or if it turned out she was clinically depressed and just wanted something to take her mind off of her horrible horrible life?

I agree, but mental illness can be just as, if not more painful, and not everyone can be helped. The fact is he wanted to die, if he didn't do it that way, he might have thrown himself off a building the following week. Who knows why he wanted to die, the fact is he did, and if he was so set on doing it that he did it in such a horrible way, he must have been in some terrible mental state.
You may argue "but he could have been helped by a psychiatrist". Well, where were his friends to suggest this? Why didn't anyone intervene and help this man? Either they were not aware he was in such a terrible way, or there was no-one to care. I believe he would have died in some way or another, sooner or later, if he was so screwed up that he saw this as his salvation.
The person who was murdered wanted to die, and signed a form to this effect. For what reason is irrelevant - people commit suicide all the time, but if another party is involved in the death, it becomes a totally different case. Euthanasia is illegal in most countries, assisting someone to end their life, although morally dubious, remains outlawed, and so people must respect that. The fact that the man was then eaten, although sickening to many, is not really the problem here - as far as I know we don't have laws against eating people, it's the murdering that people worry about.
He should be tried for unlawful killing or manslaughter in my view, but nothing more.
