GERMANY – MUNICH – SM mistress Lady Susanna advertised ‘fear and panic games’. Fear must have struck her as well, for she is standing trial in Munich for the murder of a wealthy banker who had included her in his will.
Ulrich Z. had been visiting Susanna for twenty years. For 300 euros per session, he was beaten and humiliated. The childless banker, who lived in a large detached house in the Obermenzing district, decided to include the S&M mistress in his will in 2021.
At the notary’s office, the man, who otherwise lived a socially isolated life, had it stipulated that the woman who always humiliated him would inherit everything. And everything was a detached house, an expensive apartment, 1.5 kilograms of gold (worth 170,000 euros), and 133,000 euros in savings. Susanna was aware of the amendment to the will down to the last detail.
House slave ‘Toyboy’
But on June 15, 2025, her helper and house slave ‘Toyboy’ witnessed a violent altercation between the two, according to Bild. “The victim announced that he would remove Susanna from his will,” said the prosecutor. Toyboy was her assistant who cleaned the tools after every session.
Two days after that argument, 59-year-old Susanna allegedly visited the bank director at his home to ‘secure her inheritance,’ according to the prosecution. It all started very amicably. The woman suggested a session in the ropes. As a fixed ritual, Ulrich first fetched two bottles of beer from the cellar and walked to his bedroom.
Hit up to 12 times
According to the police, Ulrich was struck on the back of the head ‘six to twelve times’ there, causing him to die at the age of 62.
Two weeks later, Susanna filed a missing person report with the police. Apparently, no one had raised the alarm until that moment. She told the police that she was seriously worried about Ulrich. When they went to his home with her to check on him and found him, she put on an act of ‘surprise and dismay,’ according to the police.
10,000 euro reward
An autopsy revealed that Ulrich Z. had been the victim of a violent crime, Stern reports. The police assembled a team of twenty detectives. Posters were put up in the Obermenzing and Milbertshofen districts, and a reward of 10,000 euros was offered for information about the crime. Because there were no signs of forced entry, the police assumed that he had let the perpetrator in himself.
Naturally, the toyboy was also questioned. He initially stated that he had been told to keep silent by his mistress, but eventually told of the argument.
DNA traces in toilet
The entire body of evidence revolves around her DNA traces found near the banker’s toilet, and a drop of the man’s blood on the floor, according to Bild, which has read the indictment. Marion W., as the S&M mistress is known in the real world, denies the murder. Her DNA is easily explained, as she visited the place regularly.
Only after weeks of questioning at the police station did she come up with a different statement. According to her, Ulrich Z. had regular contact with male prostitutes near Munich station. Forensic examination of the apartment revealed DNA from four unknown individuals. The police conducted an extensive investigation into the gay scene, including the club Deutsche Eiche, but found no matches, according to Bild.
‘Tunnel vision’
It was also remarkable that the DNA of unknown persons was found on a folder containing the will in a searched cupboard and on the outside of a toilet roll.
Lawyer Makepeace accuses the police of ‘tunnel vision’: his client, the S&M mistress, was doomed from the start.
The police investigation revealed that Marion had a very extensive clientele. She also regularly secretly recorded videos of her sessions. For instance, a married entrepreneur turned out to have paid 30,000 euros for a rope session.
In the courtroom, however, the defendant appeared anything but dominant. ‘Her tattooed hands knead her tattooed fingers; instead of sitting alone in the front row of the defendant’s bench, as is customary, she sits next to two of her three lawyers,’ writes a reporter from the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Marion only wanted to make a statement behind closed doors because it would involve sexual details. The judge agreed to this.
Susanna herself states in her earlier statements to the police that she suffers from anxiety disorders and primarily needs rest. She is certainly not being whipped, as no fewer than 22 days have been set aside for the spectacular case.
