The appeal against the prime suspect of the police murders in Kusel has been dismissed.
Andreas S. faced charges of hunting illegally, trying to inflict serious harm, and making false accusations, among other offenses. He allegedly tried to run over a witness who caught him red-handed poaching, but luckily the witness was able to avoid being hit. This case was heard in the lower court in Neunkirchen and ended with Andreas' acquittal in March 2023.
In a separate case that left jaws dropped across Rhineland-Palatinate, Andreas was found guilty of murdering two police officers in November 2022. The court sentenced him to life imprisonment for this heinous crime, and pointed out the extreme severity of his offenses, which generally makes early release from prison nearly impossible. Additionally, he was also found guilty of attacking police officers and participating in commercial hunting poaching.
The incident that led to his murder conviction occurred on January 31, 2022, when he shot a policewoman and a police officer during a traffic stop on a country road in Kusel. This rampage was significant in its viciousness and terrified the citizens of the region. Meanwhile, Andreas' accomplice Florian V. was found guilty of aiding and abetting in the hunting poaching but, because of his help in solving the case, he was not sentenced. The verdict from Kaiserslautern remains final without any chance of appeal.
