Åttalet mot honom går ut på att han utsatt flickan för sexuellt övervåld, strypt henne med ett par strumpbyxor och därefter gjort sig av med liket i en kartong, som han grävt ner utanför Lübecks stadsgräns. På rättegångens fjärde dag förövades ett uppskakande blodsdrama i domstolen i Lübeck.

Under en väldigt kort period under sommaren 1982 blir ett flertal äldre damer överfallna, misshandlade, och rånade i sina egna hem i Stockholm.

Han vill att de ska visa honom vart pengarna finns, men innan de hinner svara blir de slagna och inlåsta i en garderob som kväver deras skrik. Flera brott anmäls till polisen, och damerna som rånats återfinns vid liv, om än illa tilltygade.

It was proposed at a dinner meeting of the Dinosaur Club, a group of doctors and nurses and technicians who worked in the operating room in Toronto General Hospital in the 70s and 80s.
