A German man strangled and dismembered his wife before encasing her head in a concrete block and drowning himself in an Austrian lake, police say.
The man, 72, and his 71-year-old wife have not been named.
An investigation was launched after a suitcase with some of the woman's body parts was found by a man walking near Traunsee lake on Sunday.
A day later, the German man's body was found in 5m (15ft) of water, with his wrists weighed down by bags of stones.
Investigators on Tuesday said the head of his wife, encased in concrete, was found near the man's body in the lake near the town of Gmunden, 80km (50 miles) east of Salzburg.
The couple were reported to be from Frankfurt.

Seems like the Germans are up there with crazies like the Americans..... The 1000 men sex thing, now this and who knows what else....

Sounds like a Florida man and wife moved to Germany.

Tragic and all kinds of fucked up regardless of where, though. Jeebus.

I think they were actually Floridians on vacation.

Except the guys in Cologne weren't German. Which leaves you with one crime here. Sure, not a pretty one but not really enough to make a statement about a people of a little more than 80 million.

From the title it sounded like the OP was saying that the woman drowned in concrete. OP, I think you mean "Man puts wife's head in concrete, man drowned himself in a lake".

Is Frankfurt the Florida of Germany?

I thought it inferred the man was attempting to put his wifes head in concrete and drowned in the attempt....

You wanna know something?

I used to be #foreveralone and thinking to myself "at least someone loved that psycho"

Ze Germans are all a bit odd, they like David Hasselhoff for his singing and think cabbage is great.

[ranzino]

yay, cabbage ♥♥♥

... Frankfurt am Main is close to Florida imho.

FRA-MIA per plane in ~9h

British food is just as good (or bad) as any other Northern European nation, however we don't think cabbage is nice, because it isn't nice and no matter how often you say it is, it still will just be cabbage.

Germany needs better concrete regulations. Any idiot can buy it.

Because you don't eat it raw (when you even bother to today), that's like saying potatoes suck because you eat them raw (or in the British case the leaves above ground :P). Besides there are so many kinds of cabbage, which one do you actually want to bitch about?

Raw cabbage? All cabbage is crap. It's not a delicacy, it's just pants.

Lettuce is crap as well - crispy water, meh.

It's like it's almost real crap reporting.

"Florida or Germany?" is actually an old game.

I like carrots, parsnips, sprouts (I think I am unique in liking them), plus loads of others.

"A German man strangled and dismembered his wife before encasing her head in a concrete block"

Welp. Even he got laid and a partner, and people here tell me women don't like violent and abusive guys. They rather be with them than me.

I don't think "Someone who will chop me up and stick my head in concrete" is generally high up on the list of what women look for in a man. Perhaps in Germany it is, but I'm not convinced.
