==Crime==

Suzane planned the murder of her parents for months. In the late hours of 31 October 2002, she checked if they were already asleep, then disconnected the alarm system of the estate and opened the door to ~~her boyfriend~~ Daniel and ~~his brother Christian (26 years old)~~, who had been waiting outside. The brothers went upstairs to the parents' bedroom and struck them with iron bars before strangling them with towels. Suzane was waiting in the living room downstairs. After the murder was accomplished, the three staged a break-in by pocketing money they found, spreading papers in the library, and creating a mess in the house. Suzane and Daniel then went to a motel, while Christian ate at a fast food restaurant.

Early in the morning, Suzane and Daniel picked up her little brother, Andreas, at an internet café and went home, where they "discovered" the crime scene, called the police, and told them their story. However, investigating officers had doubts that the crime was a burglary and suspected that the perpetrators were known to the victims; they soon began to question the children and the employees of the Richthofen family. Police were suspicious of not only the crime scene, with the alarm system switched off and the papers spread very regularly, as if by design, but also Suzane's apparent indifference – she was seen in the house's swimming pool with Daniel the day after the murder, and celebrated her 19th birthday with friends just hours after the parents' burial.
