Coercion through exertion - Individual reveals reasons behind hisactions - Man recounts details surrounding his lethal hammering incident
ahan-ahahaha, y'all ready for a wild ride? Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the twisted tale of a 74-year-old German dude who whacked his wife to death with a goddamn hammer. Let's grab some popcorn 'cause this is gonna be juicy!
Starting the Showdown
The defendant, who goes by the name of Hans Hacker, admitted to battering his wife to death in the start of his trial at the Potsdam Regional Court. He confessed to the horrific crime, declaring he wanted to end her suffering, given that she was battling an incurable form of leukemia.
Vision of Pre-Meditation
The prosecution, however, has a different story. They reckon that Hacker struck his wife, who was peacefully sleeping, multiple times in the face with the hammer, brutally taking her life in cold blood last winter. The prosecution argued that he did it sneakily, giving her no chance to defend herself.
The Defendant's Account
But our boy Hans ain't backing down. He claimed that his decade-spanning marriage was going strong, even after her leukemia diagnosis. According to him, they'd agreed, after some consideration, to end their lives together to "walk each other to the other side."
Spilling the Tea
In court, Hans held nothing back, admitting to the crime but painting a picture of a harmonious, respectful relationship. He poured his heart out, sharing the details of their journey: their chance connection at a dance, their whirlwind romance, their adoption of a daughter, and their enduring love. Even after their arguments, they made up, he said.
A Bullish Woman
Hans described his wife as a tough cookie, strong and indomitable, like a damn bull. She stood by him after his 1999 car accident left him disabled, providing the support he needed. Being dependent on her in certain ways, he said, didn't weaken their bond.
The Leukemia Twist
Around a year before the incident, Hans' life turned dark as his wife's was taken over by leukemia. After grueling chemotherapy, she was completely spent and broken. In the end, she lost her strength, chose to reject further medical treatments, and her will to live vanished. "She can't go on, she told me," Hans reminisced.
A Decision Made Together
After she checked herself out of the hospital against medical advice in late 2024, his wife confided in him that she wanted to end her life. They conversed about suicide, but never established concrete plans. On the infamous day, she could barely mutter. In a heated moment, Han struck her, he admitted. Her pain was unbearable, and she coughed up blood. "I didn't plan this," he said. He couldn’t remember if she had already passed when he hit her.
A Failed Suicide Attempt
After the deed was done, Hans tried to end his own life with two massive bottles of hard liquor but took a tumble and couldn't get back up. He miraculously managed to reach the house phone and dialed the emergency services.
