German Mayor Tortured for Hours by Her Adopted Daughter
The story of the Social Democratic (SPD) mayor of Herdecke, Iris Stalzer, has taken another incredible turn. New information now reveals that her 17-year-old adopted daughter allegedly tortured Stalzer for hours and nearly killed her own mother. Despite these details, the daughter has still not been arrested.
Stalzer has spoken to police about what happened during her ordeal, and now the details have been leaked to the Bild newspaper , Remix reports .
On October 7 at 12:05 a.m., Stalzer’s daughter called 911 to report that her mother had been attacked by several men, was seriously injured, and was barely conscious.
A witness found the politician bleeding in her living room armchair. Later, the adopted daughter told police she had found her mother the same way.
Despite claims that “several men” had tortured the mother, this turned out to be a lie to cover up the atrocities that had taken place in the house. Police have since learned that the mother was brutally tortured for hours in the basement of the house.
The suspect attacked Stalzer with deodorant spray and a lighter, attempting to set her hair and clothes on fire. The adopted daughter said she wanted revenge, but it remains unclear what she was seeking revenge for.
The adopted daughter also had two kitchen knives, which she used to stab and cut the politician. Stazler sustained serious injuries, including 13 stab wounds.
One of the bloody knives was also found in the backpack of the 15-year-old adopted son, along with the daughter’s bloody clothes. The other knife was also found in his room.
Police investigators also discovered that large traces of blood had been cleaned away from the crime scene, which was later revealed by the police forensics team.
Stalzer nearly lost her life and was transported by rescue helicopter to a hospital in Bochum.
Bild wrote that police sources believe the mother sat in her armchair for a long time, bleeding, while the two alleged suspects cleaned the house to remove evidence.
Numerous German media outlets, including Spiegel, also reported that police had been called to the house shortly before this latest summer attack. In that case, the daughter was accused of domestic violence and threatening the mother with a knife.
The case is not only unbelievable because of the details, but also because of the prosecutor’s reaction to the whole affair.
Instead of facing charges of attempted murder, tampering with evidence, or even torture, which are also illegal in Germany, no arrest warrant is issued at all.
The prosecutor claims it’s clear the daughter didn’t intend to commit murder because she called the police. Instead, they’re investigating the case solely as a “bodily injury.”
As Remix News extensively reported yesterday, this claim raises several doubts, including the fact that the daughter attempted to mislead police about who was responsible for the crime, and the fact that the two allegedly cleaned up bloodstains at the crime scene. These were clearly not the actions of people trying to save their mother’s life, but rather the actions of two suspects attempting to mislead investigators, which is also a crime in itself.
On X, commentators, influencers and users are speculating about the case, pointing out the extreme double standards in modern Germany. Austrian right-wing political activist Martin Sellner wrote that Germans are being jailed for memes, while the daughter in this case will never face trial for her alleged horrific crimes. He wrote that it is a clear case of “two-class justice.”
The daughter and son were transferred to the Youth Care Office instead of prison. When asked why the two suspects weren’t transferred to the father, the prosecutor remarkably stated that the father had also been a victim of violence by the daughter in the past. In other words, this is a pattern, and presumably even more reason to prosecute her for the hours-long torture of her mother.
Is something being hidden? Is the prosecutor trying to cover up the whole case? It remains unclear and speculation is rife, but the details of the case are extraordinary, and the prosecutor’s reaction to one of the most horrific cases of attempted murder and torture in Germany is also astonishing.
