Neo-Nazi youths murdered boy, 17, for looking like
a Jew

Three young neo-Nazis went on trial in east
Germany yesterday charged with the "bestial
murder" of a schoolboy. The teenager was tortured
and killed after his attackers decided that his
baggy trousers and dyed blond hair made him "look
like a Jew".

The men aged 17, 18 and 24 faced charges on
separate counts of causing grievous bodily harm,
coercion, attempted murder, and murder by a court
in the town of Neuruppin. They are accused of
killing Marinus Schoeberl, 17, a white German,
whose mutilated body was discovered in a farm
silage pit near the isolated village of Potzlow,
north of Berlin, last November, four and a half
months after his death.

The accused, named only as Marcel, Marco and
Sebastian, appeared in court to hear statements
read out by their lawyers in which they confessed
to the killing but showed no remorse.

Gerd Schnittcher, the chief state prosecutor,
said: "The accused are part of an extreme
right-wing scene. Acts of violence are nothing
new, but we are dealing with a new dimension here.
The details of the murder are so cruel that I can
hardly bring myself to describe them. It was
bestial." ...""
