A dispute arises between a customer and a prostitute in Hamburg after disagreements about sexual practices. In the car, the 32-year-old panics under the influence of drugs and chokes the naked woman – she dies. The car mechatronics technician disposed of the corpse in the forest.
A 32-year-old has been sentenced to nine years in prison for the death of a prostitute. “There is no doubt that the accused is the perpetrator,” said the presiding judge at the pronouncement of the verdict at the Hamburg Regional Court. The court is convinced that the trained car mechatronics technician strangled the 35-year-old in May after a dispute about sexual practices.
The man from Winsen an der Luhe in Lower Saxony had confessed to the crime in a letter to his father and in conversation with his wife. “I’m so sorry for everything,” said the accused in a letter to his father, as reported by T-Online. The accused German remained silent in court. On May 14, a walker found the woman’s body in a forest near Stelle in the Lower Saxony district of Harburg.
According to the indictment, the suspect had previously contacted her via the Internet and arranged sexual services with her for money. They got into an argument in the car, after which he strangled the naked woman in a parking lot in Hamburg. He grabbed the woman by the neck with both hands and covered her mouth. She died from lack of oxygen. The 32-year-old is said to have placed the naked body in the forest.
The woman sexually insulted him in the car and slapped him in the face, reports T-Online. After several hits, she threatened to kill him. He then panicked under the influence of drugs and grabbed her neck. “I didn’t want to kill the woman. I just wanted her to stop hitting me and screaming,” the accused explained.
Prosecutors had asked for a ten-year prison sentence for manslaughter. The defense, however, pleaded for acquittal.
