BERLIN (AP) — An 81-year-old man admitted to ****** ually ****** aulting and killing an American tourist in Germany more than 30 years ago at the opening of his trial on Tuesday, German news agency dpa reported.
The defendant, whose name was not given in line with German privacy rules, admitted to killing 24-year-old Amy Lopez in 1994 in the western German city of Koblenz, the news agency reported.
Prosecutors accused him of "killing a person in a treacherous manner and for base motives in order to satisfy his ****** ual urges."
The defense lawyer, Volker Klein, said during the session in the Koblenz district court that the defendant admitted fully to the crime. When the presiding judge, Rupert Stehlin, asked the defendant if that was true, the 81-year-old nodded and said "yes."
The crime took place Sept. 26, 1994, when Amy Lopez was visiting Koblenz as a tourist.
