According to DPA new agency, the 21-year-old defendants, named only as Sebastian F. and Xenia I., lured the 25-year-old architecture student to an empty apartment in May last year. They were said to have brutally rapped and tortured her to death.
Presiding judge Uda Schmidt called the case an “incomprehensible crime”, handing down a life sentence to Sebastian F., meaning at least 15 years in prison, and a juvenile sentence of five years and six months to his partner at the time, who is the mother of three children.
They were also ordered to pay a total of 60,000 euros ($71,300) for the pain and suffering of the victim’s parents, who were co-plaintiffs in the case.
The defendants sole motive had been to fulfill a sadistic sexual fantasy after it was revealed that the deceased was trapped in the flat, where the couple repeatedly sexually assaulted the woman, leaving her with such severe injuries / They returned to the flat hours later but found her still alive before they carried the severely injured woman away and abandoned her in underbrush.
An autopsy found she had suffered blows to the head, torso and extremities.
