Germany – February 20, 2008. 32-year-old Matthias Schoormann, AKA Troll, had played guitar in a black metal band from Leer, Germany known as Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) from 1997 until the band parted ways in 2004. While his musical career may have been short-lived, Schoormann was determined to leave some sort of legacy for himself. Schoormann was desperately in love with 27-year-old medical assistant Bianca Brust. Unfortunately, Bianca did not reciprocate his love. Try as he did, Bianca kept repeatedly turning him down, breaking his heart each time.

For weeks, Schoormann’s interest had begun to spiral into an obsession and on February 20, 2008, Schoormann invited his longtime love interest over to his apartment. Bianca showed up only to break his heart again. Somewhere in that desperate struggle to impress her, as Bianca once again pushed him away, things got out of control resulting in a struggle and Schoormann strangled Bianca Brust to death.

Schoormann decapitated Bianca’s body and photographed it in various positions. He took multiple photos of her severed head and then posted all the photos on an online forum. At first, it was believed on the forum that the photos were fake until more users and moderators realized that they were real.
