A computer expert murdered his wife and then cut her body into pieces because she stood in his way of an 'exciting' sex holiday in Thailand. Horst Koenig, 53, has admitted in a German court that he killed his wife of ten years Grace, 37, and cleared out her bank account so he could enjoy a 'booze and hookers' holiday in the far east. At Augsburg State Court in Bavaria he confessed to plotting the murder and described in detail how he planned it and carried it out.
Grace, from the Philippines, had endured a marriage filled with his infidelity, said prosecutors. He wanted to take a sex holiday but knew she would 'have to be out of the way,' they said in court.
Horst Koenig flew to Pattaya in Thailand file photo where he met up with a woman he chatted with on the Internet. On 19 November looks he a leased warehouse in Augsburg where he installed a computer to research how to kill a person with a single blow to the head.
When the computer was later found by police they found other searches for 'how to prevent decay' in a corpse and visits to anatomy sites. On November 28 he bought a 5lb hammer and duct tape. Two days later, while she was asleep in bed, he whacked her on the temple and then slipped a plastic bag over her head, leading to her death by suffocation.
The following day, December 1, he bought industrial strength rubbish sacks and construction foam used to seal windows and doorframes.
