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

Grabowski confessed to the murder but denied abusing the child. Instead, the killer said that the seven-year-old girl tried to… seduce him, and if he refused, she threatened to complain to her mother that he was harassing her, and demanded hush money.

It should be noted that the investigation rightly did not believe this and considered the abuse a fact. With a broken heart, Marianne followed the news about her daughter’s murderer and learned about his testimony from the newspapers. At the same time, the defendant’s previous crimes came to light, for which he received unjustifiably light sentences. She was furious.

The trial began in March 1981. Marianne attended two hearings. With horror and anger, she listened to the arguments of the defendant’s lawyers – according to them, after the chemical castration that Grabowki underwent after the sexual crimes, he suffered from a hormonal imbalance and this made him irritable.
