‘Sex fiend’s’ chilling behaviour as cops snared him ‘after hurling two tourists into gorge’ from idyllic castle bridge

A MAN accused of killing a US tourist after hurling her and her pal off a bridge at a famous castle was chillingly silent when he was arrested, a witness said.

The two women, aged 21 and 22, were visiting Neuschwanstein Castle in Schwangau, Germany, on Wednesday when they were brutally attacked.

Police said the pair were by the scenic Marienbrücke Bridge - a 300ft crossing over a gorge that offers a view of the popular castle - when they met a 30-year-old man.

He allegedly lured them onto a trail leading to the viewpoint before he "physically attacked" the younger woman.

Cops said her pal rushed over to help her - but the suspect allegedly strangled her before pushing her over the railing of the bridge into the ravine below.

He then allegedly tried to sexually assault the 21-year-old before also shoving her down the steep 160ft slope.

The 21-year-old woman died after being airlifted to hospital, while her 22-year-old friend remains in hospital with bruises and minor lacerations.

The suspect fled - but he was arrested at the scene after a huge operation.

Footage shows a handcuffed man in a t-shirt, jeans and a baseball cap being led away by officers.

Eric Abneri, a business graduate from the University of Pittsburgh who took the video, said the man appeared to have scratches across his face.

"He did not say a single word. He didn’t open his mouth - he didn’t mumble,” Abneri said.

"He just walked with the police and that was it."

Abneri said he and friends reached the scenic viewpoint as a chopper arrived.

"I’m honestly absolutely stunned someone is still alive from this," he said.
