Nazi Killers Sick Gift to Hitler

Kathryn Quinn

A sick killer who slashed his girlfriend's throat as a tribute to Adolf Hitler and carved an iron cross on her body has been caged for life by judges.

Nazi-worshipping Peter Andras, 23, staged the gruesome murder on Hitler's birthday - April 20 - after his girlfriend Illes Gyongwer, 20, told him she wanted to break up.

Shocked police found her butchered body while a DVD of two neo-Nazis - apparently filmed in Britain - beheading a helpless victim played on Andras' TV.

After cutting her throat, trained butcher Andras - of Szeged, Hungary - cut a German iron cross into her back and draped her naked corpse in swastika flags before raping her body.

Police found his apartment full of Nazi memorabilia including the graphic beheading home movie, where the killers are understood to speak in English.

After hearing judges sentence him to 30 years in jail with no chance of parole, Andras told the court: "I deserve this life sentence. I want to be punished."
