She took the law into her own hands. A mother took revenge on her daughter’s killer in the middle of the courtroom.

There is a phrase: “When you wait too long for justice, you start handing it out.” And it fits this story perfectly…

It happened in 1980 in Germany. Marianne Bachmeier and her seven-year-old daughter Anna lived in the city of Lübeck. Marianne was raising her daughter alone and therefore spent a lot of time working – running a bar.

That is why the girl was often left alone. On May 5, 1980, Anna quarreled with her mother and decided not to go to school, but to go to her friend. On that day, she was invited to visit her neighbor, the butcher Klaus Grabowski. He interested the girl with an offer to play with his cat and her kittens. Anna agreed and was never seen alive again.

Grabowski had already served time in prison for abusing two underage girls, with one of the conditions of his release being chemical castration, to which he agreed. And even earlier, he had attempted to kill a six-year-old girl and, for reasons that are completely unknown, had only received a suspended sentence for that.

Anna was soon found on the bank of a local canal. She was dead. An autopsy determined that the cause of death was asphyxiation.

It also became clear that she had been abused before her death… Grabowski was soon detained. No, he was not investigated. For some reason, he simply confessed to his fiancée what he had done, but she somehow felt no sympathy for the scoundrel and immediately called the police.
