A TRAGIC SERIES OF EVENTS: KILLER CONVICTED FOR KEEPING GIRLFRIEND'S BODY SINCE 2024
Grieving camaraderie: confined for more than a decade - Woman viciously strangled by partner, receives over a decade in penal institution for the crime.
Let's talk about a chilling tale, shall we? A 66-year-old chap from Schmitten, located in the Hochtaunuskreis, has been serving prison time for a mind-blowing crime that took place in Frankfurt. This gentleman has been accused of strangling his 59-year-old girlfriend back in 2024 and keeping her body for over a decade!
The Frankfurt Regional Court handed down a 11.5-year sentence for this grisly act. Yet, the court is still stumped, as they haven't been able to pinpoint a motive behind the heinous crime. The judge at the helm of this criminal trial snarked, "You've got a mouth full of lies," implying the 66-year-old hasn't been truthful about why he took his girlfriend's life.
According to the trial's verdict, this man admitted to the crime but claimed that they were peacefully seated in their apartment when he choked her to death. The court, however, found evidence that contradicts this account. As months went by, the man used room sprays to mask the strong odor of decomposition and covered cracks in the doors. He even communicated with his girlfriend's family and friends, pretending she was still alive. Eventually, two months after the crime, the victim's daughter notified the police.
The police, upon arrival, were met with a host of explanations about bombs and tripwires in the apartment. A special unit was called in, and the man was arrested. Upon search, the body was discovered in the bedroom.
This wasn't the first time our feature man had strangled someone. Back in 1980, he killed a prostitute. In 1988, he forced entry into a home and strangled an 11-year-old girl he didn't know. But, twisted as he is, he eventually let her go. A court ordered him to be committed to a psychiatric hospital because he posed a significant threat to the public.
As he stands before the judge, he was informed, "Once you're out of prison, hopefully, you'll be too doddering to pose a danger to anyone." Even with the sentencing, the verdict is still pending, as the prosecution demanded a 13-year sentence, while the defense suggested a maximum of 10 years.
