Bulandshahr Shocker: Man Strangles Minor Daughter to Death With Scarf, Throws Her Body Into Canal in UP for Stealing Money; Detained
An Albany man, Lorenz Kraus, 53, was arrested after confessing on live television that he killed his elderly parents and buried them in their backyard eight years ago. Speaking to CBS6 reporter Greg Floyd, Kraus described strangling his father and later killing his mother, claiming his actions were “acts of mercy” as his parents grew frail. Authorities discovered the bodies while investigating Social Security fraud; Franz and Theresia Kraus, 92 and 83 at their deaths, had continued receiving benefits. Kraus allegedly kept collecting their benefits, claiming to donate the money overseas. He faces charges of second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse and has pleaded not guilty. Public defenders raised concerns about the televised confession affecting proceedings. The case has stunned Albany residents, prompting debates over media involvement, isolation of the elderly, and the shocking motive behind the killings.
