It is supposed to be the perfect murder: For months, two policewomen plan in a WhatsApp chat to poison the husband of one of them. Until one evening Sibylle (name changed) actually takes action - and gives her unsuspecting husband a supposedly fatal insulin injection. A dramatic, hours-long death struggle with absurd twists and turns begins, which the victim barely survives - and which ultimately turns two policewomen who are friends into convicted criminals. Why should Sibylle's husband, himself a police officer, die? What drove the two colleagues, who hardly knew each other personally, to really take their WhatsApp thought experiment seriously? And why did the almost perfect murder plan fail in the end despite police insider knowledge and cold-blooded implementation? Rebecca Jacob and Roland Müller talk about this in the latest episode of our crime podcast "Akte Südwest". This time, our guest is Jonas Bleeser, court reporter at our partner newspaper "Schwäbisches Tagblatt" in Tübingen. He followed the case from the beginning and accompanied the sensational court case until the verdict.
