She admires an American serial killer - now a 19-year-old is a self-convicted murderer.

According to the Bamberg district court, she killed a 39-year-old out of lust for murder: "Someone killing someone else just because they want to see someone die - that's a real exception," said the judge at the verdict on Wednesday.

She was sentenced to a juvenile detention of twelve years.

She will therefore serve it in a social-therapeutic institution in a prison.

In addition, preventive detention is reserved.

At the end of their term of imprisonment, it is therefore checked whether this will still be imposed afterwards.

The verdict is not yet legally binding.

The then 18-year-old had arranged a date with a 39-year-old in May 2021 and suddenly stabbed him in the neck with a knife in his car.

The man died in hospital weeks later.

Apparently, the woman chose her victim completely at random.

According to the indictment, the German admires the American serial killer Richard Ramirez.

She wanted to follow in his footsteps by killing randomly selected people to become famous.

Her CV was marked by unfavorable circumstances, the judge said.

In the process she showed a "rarely seen emotional coldness".

She suffers from an emotionally unstable personality disorder of the borderline type, but is guilty.
