Jail for squashing death
November 29 2002
Vienna
A German actor who weighs 121 kilograms was jailed for 15 years on Wednesday for squashing his accountant to death.
Gunther Kaufmann, 55, told a Munich court he had accidentally fallen on the accountant, 60.
Kaufmann was cleared of murder but found guilty of grievous robbery and blackmail with fatal consequences.
The prosecution said he lay on his accountant and suffocated him by pressing his face into the carpet.
The court heard Kaufmann took part in a fraud started by his late wife Alexandra.
She had allegedly borrowed £330,000 ($918,000) from the accountant for a compensation claim in America.
She told him that in return she would give him £16.5 million of the £45 million she expected to win.
