Woman Receives Life Term Without Parole in Fetish-Date Murder

The court found that her lust for killing—fueled by ambition for notoriety—negated any claim of diminished responsibility

Overview

  • Landgericht Ulm convicted the 26-year-old of murder and imposed a life sentence with particular gravity of guilt that effectively precludes release after 15 years.
  • Prosecutors said she arranged an October 2024 rendezvous via a fetish platform in Göppingen, bound the 46-year-old victim and stabbed him 27 times after failing to strangle him.
  • She filmed the killing and showed the footage to a friend, and her careless disposal of the victim’s phone in nearby bushes enabled investigators to trace the crime.
  • Presiding judge said the murder was driven by a lust for killing and a calculated ambition to gain fame as a serial murderer.
  • She claimed hatred of men from alleged past abuse, but the court dismissed that motive and ruled her diagnosed personality disorder did not diminish her responsibility.
