Serial killer transferred in Hessen
This spectacular criminal case makes Germany shudder. In Hesse, a serial killer was convicted - by his own daughter!
During his lifetime, the gardening and landscaping Manfred S. († 67) was never suspected, only after his death, his cruel secret was revealed. Two years ago, the family tragedy was revealed by his daughter. When she took care of her estate after the sudden death of her father, she came across the horrible find by chance.
When she was about to clear out a rented garage from her father, she found a barrel of body parts. According to the police, this is supposed to be a prostitute from the Frankfurt station district.
The investigators found in the garage numerous axes and saws and now assume that Manfred S. is said to have killed four more prostitutes from the Frankfurt station district. The murders are said to have occurred between 1971 and 1993. For further investigation, the Special Commission "Alaska" was founded.
How many murders did Manfred S. commit?
But that's not enough: The evidence hardened that the serial killer from Hesse could also be responsible for the previously unresolved murder of the youngster Tristan Brübach († 13). Especially the injury picture of the boy brings the investigators on the trail of Manfred S. According to the investigators, the student was choked to unconsciousness and beaten in 1998, then cut his killer's throat.
The boy's body had numerous mutilations. His killer had taken testicles and meat from the buttocks and thighs as "trophies". The boy's body was found in a tunnel near the city limits of Frankfurt am Main. At that time, the case caused a stir nationwide.
On Thursday, the investigators want to present more results in a press conference. "It can not be ruled out that there are more victims, " says a police spokesman.
