Heinrich Pommerencke |
VICTIMS:
4 rape/murders & 12 attempted rape/murders |
|
From this point on Pommerencke centred all his attacks on the nearby Black Forest area, and eventually earned the nickname 'The Beast in the Black Forest'. For the next few months Pommerencke continued on his merry way, brutally raping, sometimes killing, young women. In the Summer of 1960 Pommerencke picked up a new suit he had ordered. He chose to wear this suit when leaving the shop and left behind an old bag. Inside the bag was a sawn-off rifle. It seems the rifle had been used by Pommerencke not long before to hold up a railway station the day before. Pommerencke was arrested the next day. He
admitted to the robbery, and three others, but denied the
murders. Unfortunately for him he was also a dickhead. The
cops told him they had bloodstains from one of his victims
on his old suit, so he confessed all. It turned out they
were bullshitting, but it was too late for Pommerencke. He
was convicted of 4 murders and 12 attempted murders. I think
he still serving out his 140 year sentence.

MY OPINION I never liked any killer who felt the need to blame other stuff for their crimes BUT if it's a shot at a biblical story, I'll accept it. He was a bit of a wacko really. I reckon he did at least ten murders, and who knows how many rapes. Dunno if I would class him as a great, but still he did do all this at a very young age (he was 23 when arrested) so he must be rated fairly highly. The use of a razor was a nice touch, not many do these days, so I think I'll state that I like him, despite the fact he was a complete nutcase. |

When
22-year-old Pommerencke seen Cecil B. deMille's The ten
commandments he knew what he had to do - KILL. Up until that
time he had been content with assaults on females, a couple
of attempted rapes and a robbery or ten. But this was it,
he'd found his calling. The Bitches Must Die. After viewing
the biblical film he went out and bought himself a razor. He
then stalked the streets until he found himself a nice
little victim. Unfortunately he was interrupted mid-rape by
a taxi and had to flee. This turned out to be bad news for a
poor young lady in the next street. He beat her, dragged her
to the nearest park, raped her, then slit her throat.
