A cold-blooded murder took place in Gelsenkirchen, Germany in August 2024. A man brutally stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death, ending a relationship they had shared for several years. His sentence? Life in prison.
August 13, 2024, around 5:20 AM: A 36-year-old woman in Gelsenkirchen-Erle, ready to start her day by disposing of the trash, meets her 39-year-old ex-boyfriend in the backyard. This encounter turns brutal as he retrieves a knife with a 30-centimeter blade and repeatedly stabs her, leaving her to bleed out at the scene. The doctors later count 21 stab and cut wounds.
15 Long Years + Some More (for good measure)
The court's verdict, handed down on Friday, is clear: the 39-year-old will spend the rest of his life behind bars for premeditated, base-motive murder. The judges also declared the crime as grave, which almost completely rules out an early release after 15 years.
Post-Breakup Psychosis
The couple had split nearly a year before the fatal attack. New partners were a part of their life, but the man couldn't accept this change, according to the judges. In the trial, he confessed to having murderous thoughts for months and couldn't shake them off.
