German cannibal targets Ebay seller

WE HAVE all done it. You come back from the pub half cut and think it is a wizard wheeze to advertise a dead body on Ebay.

But when Daniel O'Dee from Salford posted the joke advert he got an email from someone calling himself 'Donnie, the Hanover cannibal' offering £2,000 for a 'fresh corpse'.

What spooked O'Dee was that his advertisement had been swiftly pulled by Ebay staff who are on alert for such wheezes after the pubs have just closed.

Donnie told him that there was a syndicate of eBay users who helped fund the cost of buying corpse takeaways.

O'Dee emailed back explaining that it was a joke, Donnie said he was disappointed. According to the Plymouth Herald , the German told him: "If you have any other access to a fresh corpse I would be interested. I guarantee that it will be more than a fair price."

Next thing O'Dee started to get death threats from the German. He said that he was trying to put the whole thing out of his mind by going to the papers. He added he would not be visiting Germany we assume just in case he ended up covered in a red wine sauce, between roast spuds, and peas. µ
