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

Marianne sold her story to the German weekly Stern for 250,000 German marks to pay the legal costs. That same year she married a teacher. After a while she left Germany and went with her new husband to Africa, where her husband taught German at a local school.

After her divorce in 1990, she moved to Sicily and worked in the city of Palermo in a hospice as a nursing assistant. According to the examinations, she was very kind to the sick. In 1996, Marianne died at the age of 46 from cancer. She was buried in the same grave as her daughter Anna…
