Murder in Neunkirchen: Soldier stabs girlfriend and burns body!
The murder case of a 22-year-old student that occurred in Neunkirchen-Wiebelskirchen in August 2010 will not be forgotten. After a gruesome crime in which the young woman was stabbed by a soldier of the same age and then burned, the police initially launched a public search for the missing woman. Only a few days after the missing person was reported, the murder was confirmed, which turned the relatives' worries into despair and horror. The soldier identified as the perpetrator in this case has left behind a tragic and shocking story. He doused the student's body with gasoline and burned it in a forest between Neunkirchen and Kirkel in the Saarpfalz district, underscoring the brutal nature of the crime. Saarbrücken newspaper reports that there is uncertainty about the background to the crime and that a possible romantic relationship between the perpetrator and the victim is being discussed.
The legal consequences for the soldier were discussed in a trial before the regional court in Saarbrücken, where detailed information about the perpetrator's background was disclosed. This case attracts widespread public attention not only because of its brutality, but also because of the tragedy that shaped the student's young life.
