Court jails electrician 81/2 years for castrating men on his kitchen table
A German court has sentenced an electrician to eight and a half years imprisonment for castrating several men by removing their testicles at their request, causing one person to die in the process.
The 67-year-old convict was found guilty of “aggravated, dangerous and simple assault” though he was initially charged with murder by omission, which the prosecutors later dropped.
The DPA reported that the man whose name wasn’t released, had admitted during the trial before the Munich regional court, to offering “castrations” on sado-masochistic websites and said several men paid him money for torturing them and removing their testicles.
During the trial, the man told the court that he performed the operations on his kitchen table in the town of Markt Schwaben, telling his victims that he was a trained medical professional.
He also told the court that he “castrated or partially amputated the genitals of eight men between July 2018 and March 2020,” but denied responsibility for the death of one man, who died several days after the defendant performed a procedure on him.
Prosecutors had demanded eleven years in prison for aggravated and dangerous bodily injury but the convict’s lawyers asked the court to sentence him to no more than seven years.
