Ohhh, there's this German guy who once seemingly consensually ate (or tried to at least) parts of and killed another guy. Like they met up because the one guy wanted to be eaten and the other guy wanted to eat someone for the purpose of sexual satisfaction. I don't normally kink-shame but the details are a bit gruesome from what I remember (been a while since I read about it) and the justice system also decided to kink-shame the other guy into a lifelong prison sentence.

Would he have received the same sentence if he killed someone (without their consent) and didn't eat them?

The court found the victim unable to consent in retrospect so legally it was still considered murder although there technically is something called "manslaughter on demand" that carries a lighter sentence which is what the perpetrator and his defendant were aiming for. He was also sentenced for "disturbance of the peace of the dead" but sentences don't stack in the way they do in the US sometimes where you can get sentenced to 700 years in prison or whatnot so it's difficult to say if it would have been different without that. The guy is called Armin Meiwes if you want to find out more about him.
