The 30-year-old accused was found guilty of murder by the Rostock Regional Court and has been sentenced to life imprisonment following the brutal death of eight-year-old Fabian from Güstrow. The court determined the particularly severe nature of the crime, largely aligning with the prosecution’s demands, contrasting sharply with the defense’s plea for an acquittal.
According to investigators, the woman, who was a former girlfriend of Fabian’s father at the time of the incident, went to Fabian’s residence on October 10, 2025. Under some pretense, she reportedly lured the well-known eight-year-old boy out of the house. She then drove him in her vehicle to a field near Klein Upahl, where they walked to a concealed pond. There, she allegedly killed the boy using at least six stab wounds to the torso. To dispose of the body, she later incinerated it using an accelerant.
Following the boy’s disappearance, hundreds of police officers worked for days on the search operation. Ultimately, the accused herself reported the discovery of the corpse to the police. Initially, she claimed she had stumblled upon the body by chance while walking, but she later admitted that she had been at the discovery site beforehand. Throughout the trial, she consistently denied the fundamental charges brought against her.
