Manfred Wittman, also known as "The Beast of Oberfranken," committed a series of violent crimes in Germany between 1968 and 1969. He is known for the brutal murders of three young girls.
The first victim was Nora Wenzl, a 14-year-old girl. She was killed on December 19, 1968. Wittman attacked her in Staffelstein, Germany. He used a knife to stab her multiple times. The severity of the attack caused her to suffer horrific injuries.
In November 1969, Wittman killed another girl named Sieglinde Hübner. She was 16 years old and lived in Kaltenbrunn, Germany. Wittman also used a knife to stab her. This murder was similarly brutal, resulting in significant injury.
Later in November 1969, he killed a third girl named Helga Luther, who was also 16 years old. Details of this murder are less clear, but it is known that Wittman used the same method of stabbing.
