"American Man Confesses to Assaulting 2 US Tourists, Fatally Wounding One Near German Castle"

An American man admitted to charges of murder and rape after attacking two U.S. tourists near Germany's Neuschwanstein castle, pushing them down a ravine and fatally injuring one of them. The defendant, whose name hasn’t been released, faces charges of murder, rape with fatal consequences, attempted murder, and possession of child pornography. The attack occurred last year near the Marienbruecke, a bridge over a gorge close to the castle, and the verdict is expected to be announced in mid-March at the earliest.
