Daniel Ruda: The Satanic Killer's Shocking Story & New Accusations
Can a person truly be reformed after committing an act of unimaginable brutality? The story of Daniel Ruda, the so-called "Satan Murderer" of Witten, Germany, compels us to confront this unsettling question. Despite being convicted in 2002 for a horrific crime committed alongside his wife, Manuela, Ruda's case takes a new twist as he faces fresh accusations, raising doubts about his supposed rehabilitation.
The chilling details of the original crime still resonate today. On July 6, 2001, Daniel Ruda, then 26, and his wife Manuela, 23, brutally murdered their acquaintance, Frank H., in a ritualistic killing. The crime scene, marked with satanic symbols and blood, shocked the nation. The couple, driven by what they claimed were commands from the devil, inflicted 66 stab wounds and hammer blows on their victim. Manuela, who claimed to have learned about Satanism in England and Scotland, played a significant role in the orchestration of the murder. The sheer barbarity of the act, coupled with the couple's claims of demonic influence, captivated and horrified the public. The Landgericht Bochum sentenced Daniel to 15 years and Manuela to 13 years, ordering their placement in a secure psychiatric facility.
