In a shocking admission, the accused spouse stood before the Potsdam Regional Court, confessing to the brutal murder of his wife with a hammer. The 74-year-old German man declared that he aimed to end his wife's ongoing suffering, as she faced a battle with an incurable form of leukemia.
Prosecution Braces for Pre-meditated Crime
The prosecution team accuses the man of delivering hammer blows to his unsuspecting spouse while she slept in Trebbin, Teltow-Fläming district, last winter. The prosecution maintains that the man took advantage of her slumber, robbing her of the opportunity to defend herself.
Man Stands by Joint Decision
Defying the prosecution's claims, the man argued his case in court. He recollected over 50 years of marriage to his beloved wife, and described their joint decision to end their lives as a means of providing mutual support during her terminal illness.
Courtroom Candor
In stark contrast to the gravity of the situation, the man expressed surprising candor in court, admitting to the crime yet refusing to paint a picture of a troubled marriage. His words revealed a profound respect for his once-strong wife, whose spirit crumbled under the weight of leukemia and chemotherapy.
Their Love Story
The couple's love story began in the early 1970s, where they shared the Cha-Cha on the dancefloor. Four years later, they exchanged marriage vows, and two years after that, they welcomed a daughter into their lives. "Maybe our secret to a 50-year marriage was just a good dance," the accused mused. Even in the face of disagreements, they reconciled swiftly.
A Rock in His Life
His wife was "as rugged as a bull," the accused reminisced, referring to her unwavering spirit and strength. She supported him through a 1999 car accident, leaving him disability-stricken, and he relied on her for assistance. He battled severe neck spine issues, often requiring a wheelchair.
Cancer's Invasion
Just before their tragic encounter, cancer wreaked havoc in his wife's life. After intensive chemotherapy, she was left worn and broken. In the end, her strength evaporated, and her will to live dwindled. "She couldn't take it anymore," he recalled, attributing her words.
Together Forever?
Tired of witnessing her pain, he decided to act. Despite not discussing their suicides explicitly, his wife had expressed a desire to die. On the day of the crime, his wife was mere whispers. Impulsively, he took action, unable to bear her suffering any longer. "I didn't plot this," he emphasized, explaining how he grabbed a random object from the coffee table and swung at his wife. "Maybe she was already gone."
Attempted Suicide Fails
Aware that his actions might soon be discovered, he took drastic measures, attempting to end his own life with substantial quantities of alcohol. However, his efforts were thwarted; he tumbled and couldn't get back up, managing to reach the house phone and call for help.
