GermanyA 70-year-old man has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Landgericht Bad Kreuznach for murdering his ex-partner with a hammer. The court found him guilty of murder and robbery resulting in death, and determined the severity of his crime makes parole after 15 years highly unlikely. The incident occurred in October 2025 in Bad Kreuznach, shortly after the woman ended a ten-year relationship with the defendant. The attack took place in her home during a planned move, where he allegedly struck her multiple times with a hammer and a pipe wrench, causing fatal head and facial injuries. He also stole her car keys and bank card, using the latter to withdraw money at an ATM.
