Murdered out of her mother's revenge. Valeria's tragedy. A Ukrainian woman was murdered in Döbeln. A high-profile case in Germany.
Valeria, a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl from Döbeln (Saxony), disappeared on her way to school on June 3, 2024. A week later, her body was found in the woods. In January 2025, a court sentenced her mother's 37-year-old ex-partner to life imprisonment.
The murder caused a huge stir in Germany and Ukraine. The girl trusted her killer and called him "daddy." He lured her into a car, drove her into the woods, and strangled her in a mud pit out of revenge against her mother after their breakup.
This video provides a complete timeline of the case, including the motives, the investigation, and the verdict.
