The Koblenz Regional Court sentenced an 81-year-old man to life imprisonment for the 1994 murder of 24-year-old American tourist Amy Lopez. Presiding Judge Rupert Stehlin noted that the court found the offense to be of a particularly serious nature, a conclusion supported by the prosecution, joint plaintiffs, and defense counsel. The defendant admitted to the crime, in which he lured the victim to a derelict building before sexually assaulting and killing her with nine stab wounds.
