“You lose trust in the justice system”: lisa-marie michalke may help her dismembered brother marco w. Not bury
A horrific murder case that took place in Munich four years ago has kept Germany in suspense. Marco W. was killed and dismembered by his friend and business partner. But in the aftermath of the case, the question is who will have to pay for the victim’s funeral. The perpetrator refuses to pay the costs and the victim’s family does not have sufficient financial resources. Lisa-Marie Michalke, the victim’s sister, finds herself in this precarious situation. She is tormented not only by the loss of her brother, but also by the fact that she cannot give him a proper burial.
Lisa-Marie Michalke’s despair is growing as she receives no support from the judiciary. Throughout the trial, she was not contacted by the prosecution and received no information about the status of the case. This has increased their frustration and distrust of the German judicial system. She believes that she and her family have been let down by the court system.

Munich police recently announced that they had funded the search for the perpetrator. But this has not been of much benefit to Ms. Michalke. She continues to face the problem of not being able to bury her brother. The family has launched a fundraising campaign to raise the funeral costs, but the real problem remains: mourning her brother in the form of a proper burial. Ms. Michalke’s story clearly shows that the German justice system offers little support for victims of serious crimes and that the costs of burial are often passed on to victims’ families.
A tragic fate
Lisa-Marie Michalke faces an almost insurmountable problem. She is allowed to bury her brother Marco W. not bury him because his body was never found. The young man disappeared without a trace almost two years ago and a gruesome suspicion came to light: Marco was allegedly killed and then dismembered by an acquaintance.
But despite numerous investigations and evidence, the perpetrator has not yet been brought to justice. Lisa-Marie is in despair and sees no hope in the justice system. She feels helpless and left alone.
Such a fate can happen to anyone. The supposed security that the state and the judiciary are supposed to offer can quickly shatter. Lisa-Marie’s story shows that justice is not always done and that trust in the justice system can quickly be lost.
It is important that we deal with such cases and realize that terrible things can happen even in our supposedly safe world. Only in this way can we help to ensure that the justice system remains fair and independent.
