Who is Jens Söring? Where is Elizabeth Haysom Now? Everything Explained Here
People all over the world have been interested in the case of Jens Soring and Elizabeth Haysom, both because of how horrible the crime was and how complicated the legal and emotional issues that followed.
Their story, which has been told in many books, papers, and now a Netflix documentary, makes you think about love, power, and fairness. Let’s get to know more about it.
Who is Jens Söring?
Jens Soring is a German citizen who got involved in a murder case when he was 18 years old. It would change the rest of his life. In 1990, he was found guilty of killing Derek and Nancy Haysom, who were the parents of Elizabeth Haysom, who was his girlfriend at the time.
At first, Soring admitted to the murders but later changed his story, saying that he had told the truth to protect Elizabeth because he thought his father’s job as a German official would give him diplomatic immunity.
He got two life sentences that ran together and did his time at Virginia’s Buckingham Correctional Center. During his time in prison, Soring wrote many books, including “Mortal Thoughts,” a diary, and changed his religion from Buddhism to Catholicism.
Liz Haysom: Who is She?
Elizabeth Haysom was found guilty of helping to kill her parents before they were killed. In 1987, she admitted guilt and was given a 90-year prison term.
She told the judge during Soring’s hearing that she tricked him into killing the people because her parents didn’t like their relationship.
Haysom was released in 2019 after 32 years in prison and was sent back to her home country of Canada, where she has stayed out of the public eye ever since.
Soering vs. Haysom
The “Soering vs. Haysom” part of the case is about how Jens Soring and Elizabeth Haysom told different stories about the killings and their roles.
Soring said he was working as a spokesman for Haysom, but Haysom noted she was the brain behind the crime, which put their stories against each other. This difference has been talked about and thought about by both lawyers and regular people.
So, What Exactly Happened?
The death of Derek and Nancy Haysom in 1985 was at the center of the case. Even though they weren’t initially thought to be responsible for the killings, Jens Soring and Elizabeth Haysom ran away to England.
In 1986, they were arrested for theft and using fake papers. The trial that followed showed a complicated web of love, manipulation, and violence. Soring was found guilty of the killings, and Haysom was found guilty of helping them happen.
Where Are They NOW?
After getting their release in 2019, Soring and Haysom were sent back to their home countries. Soring returned to Germany and said getting out of jail was “the best day of my life.”
Haysom, on the other hand, has stayed out of the public eye in Canada. Soring has become more public and has done interviews, including ones for the Netflix show that looks back at the case.
Latest documentary on Netflix
“Till Murder Do Us Part,” a new Netflix documentary, goes into great depth about the case. It shows everything that happened before and after the murders, as well as the court cases that followed.
People who read it have talked to Soring about the case, which continues to amaze and scare people who read about it.
Conclusion
The story of Jens Soring and Elizabeth Haysom is a complicated one of love gone wrong, the law being questioned, and two lives being changed forever by a series of terrible events.
Their story is once again in the public eye thanks to the Netflix documentary. This case will be talked about and argued for years to come.
Even though they now live different lives, what they did is a powerful reminder of how far people’s feelings can go.
