Murder of woman, 28, who ‘was beaten and strangled to death by 17-year-old after laughing at him during sex’ was filmed by her alleged killer, court hears
- Blanca C., 28, was ‘hit, strangled and smothered’ on October 3 by Mohamed Ali S., 17
The murder of a woman who was brutally beaten and strangled by a 17-year-old after she laughed at him during sex was filmed by her alleged killer, a court has heard.
Blanca C., 28, met Mohamed Ali S., 17, on October 3 last year at a bar in the German city of Frankfurt, where the pair had a few drinks and drugs together, prosecutor Constanze Jung said.
‘Then they left [the bar] to go to her flat and have consensual sex,” Jung told the German tabloid Image.
But when Mohamed reportedly failed to get an erection, Blanca laughed at him about it.
This enraged the Tunisian teenager who “beat, choked and strangled her” in a violent frenzy until she died, Jung said.
The suspect is said to have filmed part of the attack with his phone. As he pointed the camera at Blanca’s body, he boasted, “I killed her,” prosecutors said.

A witness called the police in the middle of the night, who rushed to Blanca’s apartment, where they broke down the door and found her dead.
Mohamed Ali S. was arrested just hours later at his parents’ home in the Bonames district of Frankfurt, about ten kilometers from Blanca’s flat.
“She was such a happy, young woman,” a neighbor told Bild about Blanca, who reportedly enjoyed going out and was full of life.
Another said Blanca’s devastated mother, who lives in the flat next to her daughter, had made a ‘B’ with pink and purple tea lights on Blanca’s doorstep the day after her death.
Blanca’s mother wrote on Facebook: “My love, my happiness, my joy, my EVERYTHING has gone to the Garden of Eden.”
The murder trial, which is closed to the public because the suspect is a minor, started Monday at the Frankfurt court in the German state of Hesse.
Mohamed Ali S. could face a prison sentence of up to ten years if convicted under German juvenile justice law.
