U.S. man receives life sentence for murdering and rape of 2 women
On Monday, an American man was found guilty and received a life sentence of sexual violence of two American ladies. Outside of Germany’s iconic Neuschwanstein Castle last summer, he forced them into a ravine, hurting one fatally. He was condemned to life in prison.
The Kempten state court also found the 31-year-old man guilty of attempted murder and rape with fatal consequences. Moreover, presiding judge Christoph Schwiebacher ruled that the defendant has very serious guilt then sentenced. He will most likely not be eligible for release after 15 years, as is customary in Germany.
Prosecutors in the German court system do not officially enter pleas to accusations. The suspect admitted to them when his trial began on February 19.
In conformity with German privacy rules, local police did not identify those responsible or victims. However, family and friends at the time reported that the victims were 21-year-old Eva Liu, who died, and Kelsey Chang, 22, who survived. Both were recent grads from the University of Illinois.
The attack began on June 14 at the Marienbruecke. Which is a bridge over a ravine that provides a view of the castle, one of Germany’s most well-known tourist destinations. Furthermore, prosecutors claim the suspect encountered the two women by coincidence on a hiking trail and lured them off it. They stated he first forced the younger woman to the ground and attempted to strip her.
When the older woman sought to assist her, a fight erupted. The suspect allegedly shoved her down a steep slope. She fell approximately 50 meters (165 feet) and suffered a head injury, bruises, and grazes, but lived.
