Summary

This hostel marks the final attack of a horrific rapist, kidnapper, paedophile, alleged necrophile and an almost triple murderer. It’s a case which caused uproar in a community, destroyed several families, and three lives which would be changed forever, yet it was barely reported and it remains forgotten. The killer came from nowhere, which begs the question, what led him to do the evil things he did?

Date: Monday 8th August 1994 (between 3pm and 5pm)
Victims 1: Marina Koppel (Luz Marina Gomez De Koppel)
