An enraged wife and her ex-husband’s mistress are accused of teaming up to hire henchmen to kidnap and torture the husband, who they describe as “abusive.”
The ex-wife Yvonne Schmidt, 39, and the victim’s mistress Birgit Koenig, 37, are accused of the plot to kidnap and torture Thomas L., who is still undergoing psychiatric counseling and wasn’t able to attend trial on Monday.
What Happened To Thomas L?
In 2015, Thomas L. allegedly kidnapped at a truck stop in Berlin. He was then striped naked, bound with gaffer tape, blindfolded and placed in the back of a refrigerated van. He was driven to a remote forest, and was dragged out of the vehicle by one of the four “hired heavies” who told him to “stop bothering Yvonne or you’ll really get it.”
Thomas L was then beaten and told to count to 100. After he finished counting, Thomas removed his blindfold to find himself naked in two degree Celsius, which is a temperature of 35.6 Fahrenheit.
He was able to flag down a car, who drove him to a police station. He was then taken to a hospital to be treated for severe skull and stomach injuries.
