A 40-year-old sex worker has been accused of murder after allegedly performing a satanic ritual on a man whose remains were found in trash cans near an industrial estate
A prostitute has been accused of murdering a “middle-aged man” and dumping his dismembered remains in rubbish bins after a satanic ritual.
The incident took place near an industrial estate in the Rhine-Main region in Germany after the victim’s body parts were discovered back in February this year.
The sex worker is reported to have chosen her alleged victim at random. The man’s identity has not been made public and neither has his age. However it is understood the victim was “middle aged.”
Darmstadt public prosecutor’s office has accused the 40-year-old sex worker of killing the man in a satanic ritual. A few days after police found the man’s body, they arrested the women, who was crossing Germany’s border with Poland on foot.
A witness told the German outlet Bild one of the buildings near where the remains were found functions as a brothel. They stated: “Every now and then, gentlemen appear asking where they have to ring the bell for a massage appointment.”
Back in July a statement from the Darmstadt prosecutor’s office shed light on the ongoing court proceedings. The prosecutor’s office stated: “She is suspected of murder.”
It added: “Based on the investigation, the prosecution believes that the suspect, who was allegedly involved in prostitution, killed a randomly selected man, presumably as part of a Satanic ritual.”
Last month an application was filed with the Darmstadt Regional Court in precautionary proceedings. These proceedings are conducted when there is suspicion a suspect who committed the crime can only be guilty to a limited extent or not at all.
This can be due to a possible mental illness. Investigators have not revealed any more details surrounding the alleged fatal satanic ritual which claimed the man’s life.
