Tragic Murder Case Unfolds in Coburg: Victim's Last Words Revealed

Coburg, Bavaria - A shocking murder case has emerged as Alexander G., a group leader of the Technical Relief Organization (THW), faces trial for the murder of his colleague Eva-Maria H., aged 40. The accused allegedly lured the victim to his apartment, where he strangled her with a cable and subsequently committed acts of abuse on her lifeless body.

During the opening of the trial at the Coburg District Court, Alexander G. confessed to the heinous act. However, he also expressed an unusual sentiment regarding his previous job as a butcher, stating, "I had to kill animals, and that was not my world anymore."

The investigation into Eva-Maria H.'s disappearance began on December 1, 2024, after she was last seen attending a THW meeting on November 30. Following a week of intensive searching, her body was discovered on December 6 in a storage container at G.'s workplace, raising serious questions about the circumstances surrounding her death.

Prosecutor Christoph Gillot presented the facts of the case, indicating G.'s intention to strangle Eva-Maria H. before engaging in sexual acts with her corpse, driven by his disturbing fantasies.

In court, G. explained that his marriage had been deteriorating, and he had not been intimate with his wife for several years. He had sought validation and connection through his work at the THW after feeling like an outsider in his professional life. Eva-Maria H. was also looking for new challenges within the organization, expressing a desire to operate heavy machinery.

Despite G.'s claims of being supportive towards her, evidence presented by the prosecution suggests that Eva-Maria had repeatedly rebuffed his advances and made derogatory comments about his appearance.

On the day of the murder, G.'s defense attorney argued that during a breakfast meeting, Eva-Maria provoked him, which allegedly led him to decide to kill her. When he placed the cable around her neck, she reportedly resisted and uttered, "This cannot be your serious intention."

G. expressed remorse for his actions, claiming that the subsequent abuse was not premeditated. However, the prosecutor challenged this narrative, pointing out inconsistencies in G.'s account.

The trial is set to continue, with a verdict expected on September 19. Alexander G. faces a potential sentence of life in prison if convicted.
