Killer … a poisonous Black Widow spider

A MAN who lived in his own “zoo” of lizards and insects was fatally bitten by a pet black widow spider ? then eaten by the other creepy-crawlies.

Police broke in to Mark Voegel’s apartment to find spider Bettina along with 200 others, several snakes, a gecko lizard called Helmut and several thousand termites had gorged on his body.

Neighbours alerted police after becoming alarmed by the stink.

And horrified officers were met by a nightmare scene.
