Man who killed wife wont be prosecuted- 20yr statutory limit
German killer who choked his wife to death and welded her body in a BEER BARREL which he kept in his garage for 24 years will walk free - because the time limit to prosecute him has passed
The victim, named by police as Franziska S, disappeared in 1992
Her body was found welded into a beer barrel in Hannover - 135 miles from where she was killed
Her husband, identified simply as Joerg L for legal reasons, admitted that he had choked her to death
Prosecutors are unable to act as a 20 year statutory limit has passed
A man who admitted choking his wife to death and welding her body into a beer barrel, which he carried around with him for 24 years, will not face any action - because the statutory time limit has expired.
German police found the mummified body of the woman, who disappeared in 1992, in a garage in Neumuenster, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.
The victim, named only as Franziska S, was killed by her husband, who authorities have identified as Joerg L.
Prosecutors say they are powerless to act though, as a 20 year limit has expired.
RIP to her, I hope her family can stay strong, and I wish the worst of the worst for him in the rest of his life. Thankfully, God doesn't let anyone get away with anything.
