Она добралась до него прямо в зале суда: история Марианны Бахмайер
Marianne Bachmeier (3 June 1950 – 17 September 1996) was a West German vigilante who shot and killed Klaus Grabowski, a man on trial for the rape and murder of her daughter Anna (14 November 1972 – 5 May 1980), in the District Court of Lübeck in 1981.
Bachmeier was raised in a conservative home with devoutly religious parents. Her father, previously a member of the Waffen-SS,[3] was the stereotypical authoritarian figure, a heavy drinker who spent much of his time at a bar close to the family home. Their household was not pleasant, and drinking made her father more aggressive.[4] Her parents divorced, and her mother later remarried. Bachmeier was perceived as a troubled adolescent by—what she described as—a dictatorial stepfather, and her mother eventually kicked her out of the house.[3][4]
In 1966, aged 16, Bachmeier had her first child, whom she placed for adoption as an infant. She became pregnant again at the age of 18 by her boyfriend.[3] Bachmeier was raped shortly before the birth of her second child. Her second child was also placed for adoption as an infant.[5]
Bachmeier began dating the manager of Tipasa, a pub where she worked, in 1972. She became pregnant for the third time at the age of 22. On 14 November 1972, Bachmeier's third child, Anna, was born, and she raised her alone.[5][6] As a result, Bachmeier took Anna to work at the pub, and she was said to never feel a need to rush home after her regular hours behind the bar.[7]
In two 1984 documentary films, No Time for Tears: The Bachmeier Case and Anna's Mother, Bachmeier was portrayed as a single mother who worked well into the night and then slept into the day, leaving her seven-year-old daughter on her own during the day.[6][8] Bachmeier was aware of her problematic lifestyle and wanted to put Anna up for adoption.[8] Friends later said that she treated Anna like a little adult, and from a young age, expected her to take care of many things on her own.[7] Anna frequently slept in the bar as her mother partied. According to a friend of Bachmeier, Anna was a vibrant youngster who never truly had a pleasant family life.
On 5 May 1980, when Anna was seven years old, she had an argument with her mother and decided to skip school.[9][10] On this day she was abducted by Klaus Grabowski, a 35-year-old butcher, whose home she had visited before to play with his cats.[9][10] He held Anna for several hours at his home, sexually assaulted her and ultimately strangled her with a pair of his fiancée's tights. According to the prosecutor, he then tied the girl up and packed her into a box, which he left on the shore of a canal. Grabowski's fiancée then turned him in to the police.[11][12]
Grabowski was a convicted sex offender and had previously been sentenced for the sexual abuse of two girls. In 1976, he voluntarily submitted to castration, though it was later revealed that he subsequently underwent hormone treatment to try to reverse the castration.[13][14] Once arrested, Grabowski stated that Anna had sought to extort money from him by threatening to tell her mother about the abuse. He said his fear of going back to prison prompted him to kill her.
At around 10 a.m. on 6 March 1981, the third day of the trial,[7] Bachmeier smuggled a Beretta 70[16] into the courtroom of Lübeck District Court, room 157, and fatally shot Grabowski.[17][18] She aimed the gun at his back and fired seven times; six shots hit Grabowski,[b] who was killed almost instantly.[15][19] Bachmeier then lowered her gun and was apprehended without resistance
