In this case the murder of a prisoner in the prison of Siegburg (Germany).
The brutality of this case (as well as the incompetence of the wards, who didn´t notice anything although the victim pressed the panic button) surpasses all boundaries.
The victim (20 years old) was locked away in a cell with the perpetrators (20,19 and 17 years old).
This saturday the 3 men decided that they wannted to kill their victim (why? Out oif curiosity, because they wanted to see how someone dies)
What followed was a 12 hours lasting matyrdom of the victim.
During these 12 hours they forced him to drink a liquid with hot powder, water, urine and saliva and eat a tube of toothpaste (and when he puked from this they also forced him to eat his own vomit), sexually abused him several times and beat him with devices they assembled from furniture (and could turn it into parts of the mobiliar back again so that noone would suspect these poarts to be used as torture devices).
The victim was able to press the panic button once, but when the prison guards arrived the culprits convinced them that the button was accidentally pressed. Because of the loud noises coming out of the cell inmates of other cells complained, which resulted in the prison guards were summoned once again, this time entering the cell, but the culprits just said, that they had moved mobiliar around (their victim obviuosly was lying unconsciously in his bed and therefore was unable to say anything)
When they finally were done with him (and wanted to finish their crime) they tried to hang their victims with cables, fixing these cables between toilet door and frame and forcing their victim to climb onto a bucket so that they could kick it away after they had positioned the sling around his neck.
But this final phase of the matyrdom of the victim took 2 hours, as they failed three times (two times because their cable teared from the weight of the victim and the third time because, after they lowered him onto the ground after 1,5 minutes of strangling he was unconscious but still alive, so they beat him until he woke up and forced him onto the bucket for a fourth time, which is when they succeeded in killing him).
They even almost succeeded in making people believe that everything was de facto just a suicide, but obviously they had made a mistake or two, so that the people who examined the case took a second look, resulting into these cruel details coming into light.
Sorry, only References are in german:
IMHO even the things done in Abu Ghraib pale in comparison to this specially sick case.
Normally I´m against death penalty, but such cases makes me thing that culprits in rare cases llike these should, as a penalty, endure the same things they did to their victim (which, in this case would result in their death of course).
Either this, or using the ancient practice of declaring someone to be vogelfrei (free as a bird) meaniung that such people are outcast from society and everyone who commits a crime against people who are vogelfrei won´t be punished for this, even if he murders them.
There is also the question about how this (12 hours lasting matyrdom) could go undetected until the vitcim was dead, even though wards entered the cell and even though he püressed the panic button.
