Honka: The Ripper of St Paulii

Fritz Honka quietly lived in Hamburg’s red light district of St Paulli, picking up elderly prostitutes for the price of a glass of schnapps and a bed for the night. His began to lose his temper when the women declined his sexual perversions. He retaliated by strangling his victims. Disposing of the bodies presented a problem until he came up with the idea of dismembering them and storing the body parts in the roof space next to his flat. Had a freak house fire not crept up the building to expose his collection he might never have been caught. He claimed he had been instructed by London’s Victorian Jack The Ripper to perform the murders. He was sectioned at a mental institute after being convicted of 1 murder and 4 manslaughters.
