A man will go on trial for the death of his wife, who died after a sexual marathon.

Ralph Jankus explained to the police of North Rhine-Westphalia, in the west of Germany, that he and his wife, Christel, were married and They decided to spend their honeymoon at home, dedicated to their sadomasochistic practices.

Jankus, 52, explained that he had three decades of experience in the subject and that did not notice that his wife was not well after his "honeymoon", reported the UK website Mirror.

When he finally called the emergency services, it was too late: Christel, 49, he died four days after the marathon session because of internal injuries produced by an object that would have been inserted into his body.

Christel's son, a 30-year-old man whose name was not revealed, said that his mother had been abused during her childhood, that she was not mentally stable and that her husband controlled her.

The man came to denounce that Christel was dressed in clothes that covered her from head to toe so that no one sees the marks of Jankus' activity.

Forensic scientists have determined that Christel He died of a perforation in the intestine, which could have been caused, for example, by a hook stuck in his abdomen which was then removed without any care.

The woman had denounced Jankus for domestic violence in 2017, but later withdrew the charge and went to a psychiatric clinic. Once released, he resumed his relationship with the man.

Jankus' lawyer tried to release him from any responsibility for the death of his wife, but the North Rhine-Westphalia court realized that this man was psychologically fit to answer for his negligence.
