Marianne Bachmeier entered the courtroom of the Lübeck District Court and shot Klaus Grabowski, the man accused of murdering her daughter Anna, on the third day of his trial in 1981, seeking revenge for his crime.
Marianne's background was challenging from childhood; she was born on July 3, 1950, in West Germany, and faced a troubled family life, including the influence of an ex-Waffen-SS father.
She had three children, giving up the first two for adoption, and kept Anna, born on November 14, 1972, raising her alone amidst difficult circumstances.
Anna was murdered at age seven by Klaus Grabowski on May 5, 1980, after skipping school to play with his cats; he had previously been charged with sex crimes and controversially reversed a chemical castration.
After Marianne's courtroom revenge, she was convicted of manslaughter and unlawful firearm possession, serving three years after an initial six-year sentence. Later, she moved to Nigeria and then Sicily, where she died of pancreatic cancer at age 46, and was buried beside Anna.
Powód: Marianne Bachmeier's actions were driven by a desire for revenge against Grabowski for the murder of her daughter Anna.
