Life imprisonment looms in court for the murder of a tormented prostitute in Koblenz.
The court found compelling evidence that the 40-year-old and the 48-year-old operating out of the red-light district had mercilessly tormented and severely injured the 31-year-old living with them in a residence during April 2023 up until their arrests in November 2023. They treated the death of the victim with indifference.
These two perpetrators coerced the victim into submission through extreme bouts of torment, which subsequently forced her into prostitution. The earnings from her work were siphoned off by the woman and the man from Bulgaria for their own use. The 31-year-old was never allowed to step foot outside of the house throughout this entire ordeal.
In the month of November, the woman and the man were taken into custody. This was following a daring rescue mission. As reported by investigators, the rescue team was summoned to a flat on the 22nd of November. At this location, they discovered a woman who had already succumbed to cardiac arrest.
She was brought to a hospital, and despite their best efforts, passed away on the same night. On her body were found appalling injuries, speaking to a disregard for humanity that was absolutely appalling and revolting, according to the lead prosecutor, Mario Mannweiler.
