For three years they lived unmolested in freedom. But when chat transcripts of their heinous crime were read out, it ended.
Trial at the regional court against two cousins (23, 24) from Lebanon for joint rape. Their victim: 20-year-old Tessa R. (name altered). On the evening of October 13, 2018, the men lured the young woman into an uncle’s garden shed (Lerchenlust Colony) and drugged her with vodka-O they had mixed themselves.
Mustapha was friends with the girl. He and his relative Hussein had apparently planned the crime in detail – filmed it, even recorded voice messages! The police secured mobile phone videos, chat histories.
► At noon Hussein sent a text message: “I want to fuck her We have to give her alcohol.”
► At 11.04pm Mustapha sent a message to a friend, taunting the woman he had already maltreated. “Spit in her mouth again” can be heard, the slapping of a hand on skin, bawling, snorting.
► Shortly afterwards Mustapha taunts, “The ass is nice, it’s good to penetrate.”
► Around 11.50 pm he posts a photo of Tessa R. – passed out and half-naked on the floor.
► “There’s blood coming out,” jeering in the background. “She can’t go on.”
Because of the danger of escaping and collusion, the judge had the men arrested while they were still in the courtroom. They will testify on Wednesday.
