Werner Pinzner: The Contract Killer With A Surprise

Werner Pinzner seemed to be down on his luck from the beginning, as after he dropped out of school, he floated from job to job, ultimately being sentenced to 10 years in prison for his part in an armed robbery that resulted in the death of the store manager. While behind bars, he was able to establish connections with multiple members of Germany’s seedy red-light district, as he desired to live the lifestyle of a pimp. Even while he was on day release from prison, he became a contract killer, eliminating anyone for the right price, as this was something he continued to do after he was officially released. When German police finally cracked down on organized crime, Werner was quickly named as a suspect in multiple murders,but he was ready to talk. On July 29, 1986, he was set to be interviewed at the Hamburg police headquarters, but the cops didn’t know that there was a surprise in store for them.
