Swiss politician `advertised for cannibals to eat best pal’s wife and child`

London -  A sadistic politician offered the wife of his friend and her daughter to cannibals in order to “save his friend a messy divorce”.

Convicted murderer Hans Ulrich Rudel, 53, is accused of posting an advertisement in the names of the woman and her 12-year-old child, the Sun reported.

Through the shocking advert, he claimed to be looking for an “experienced, strict master or Sadist who can turn us into creatures with no will of our own”. 

“Are also keen to meet gentleman interested in slaughter and dolce, who would like to roast us on a spit,” the advertisement added.

Rudel allegedly placed the ad on the Internet to spare his policeman friend Peter Joachim, 50, the divorce battle he was said to be going through with 27-year-old Patricia.

Rudel — who goes under the name Marquis el Diablo at his S&M club — told police: “I was hoping she would disappear off the radar; that Peter gets the children.”

Rudel, from Winterthur, Switzerland, later told cops “dolce” — Italian for dessert — was a term he used for cannibalism.

He was arrested after one of the two dozen people who responded to the advert turned out to be an undercover policeman.

Rudel was held in 2010 on suspicion of inciting murder. Joachim, who co-founded a local branch of Swiss conservative party BDP with Rudel, was also initially arrested over the advert and

spent weeks behind bars before police realised he knew nothing of the alleged plot.

Rudel, who had already served a decade in prison for the ritualistic murder of a young woman in 1988, said: “I was hoping Patricia would be picked up by a butcher and never show up again.” He is said to go on trial on Thursday.
