Murder at Neuschwanstein Castle: Defense lawyers appeal after conviction. One of the two women died from her injuries.
The 21-year-old died after a few hours in the hospital, while the older woman survived injured. The defendant admitted to attacking the 21 and 22 year old women in June 2023 during a hike near the Marienbrücke in Schwangau, a popular meeting point for tourists near the castle. He choked and raped the younger woman and pushed both women down a slope about 50 meters deep.
