If he killed the people to stay alive, then yes, he is a murderer and was justice was properly served.

He had one mispelling of Alferd, which is not his correct given name. Loved seeing his gravesite this past week.

on his grave. I’m a native of Littleton, though I never visited the
grave, and every Colorado schoolchild knows his name was
spelled Alferd — “er” not “re” — so it’s interesting to see that
the gravestone spells it “re.”
We’ve always been proud of our Colorado cannibal, and in fact the
cafe in the student union at CU in Boulder is called the Packer Grill.
