1st July ‘08 - Life Insurance Murderess Will Never Be Released
Posted on Monday, July 07th, 2008 at 8:57amA 69-year-old German woman has been jailed for life over the murders of four elderly men. Callously, the former call girl would meet men through lonely hearts columns then murder them so that she could receive money from their life insurance policies.
The convicted woman, Lydia Lassen-Berge, would, with the help of a male accomplice, vet men to discover if they had significant assets or life insurance policies before making herself sole beneficiary and suffocating them so as to try and make it look as if they had died of natural causes.
Her accomplice was also sentenced, but to only 12 years imprisonment. It was only his coming forward to police with information that led to them discovering the macabre and murderous truth behind the 69-year-old’s seemingly ill-fated run of romances.
Lydia Lassen-Berge has been sentenced to life without prospect of parole over the life insurance-related murders.
