Life sentence for defendant in Cologne “carnival murder”. “We are convinced that you committed the murder 36 years ago,” said the presiding judge.
According to the verdict, the 57-year-old killed the victim in the old town on the night of Carnival Sunday in 1988. This was proven, among other things, by DNA traces that were found on the body. The investigators got on the trail of the defendant through a tip from a viewer after the ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY...unsolved”
