Estibaliz carranza biography for kids

So far there has been no response from the victims' families.

The publishing company, Edition A, has released a short summary of the book, which begins with the moment Carranza discovers she is pregnant, by a third man, in 2011.

It describes how she hoped the two murders would never be discovered and how she was looking forward to a happy future.

A few days later, maintenance workers found the bones and body parts of her ex-husband and lover in the cellar of her ice cream parlour.

Carranza fled, taking a taxi to Udine in Italy, a 480km (300 mile) drive through the Alps.

Police arrested her in the lodgings of a street musician and she was extradited to Austria.

The book, the summary says, describes her relationships with her victims, as well as her marriage in prison to the father of her child.

During her trial in 2012, court psychiatrist Adelheid Kastner said there was a higher than average chance Carranza could kill again.

VIENNA - A former ice cream parlor owner confessed in court on Monday to shooting, sawing up and freezing both her ex-husband and her lover, and burying them under the cellar of her store in Vienna.

Estibaliz Carranza, a 34-year-old Mexican-Spanish woman dubbed the "Ice Lady" by Austrian media, told a court that both men had "demeaned" her; her ex-husband by yelling at her and making fun of her poor German, her lover by being unfaithful.

In both cases, she said she had shot her victim with a .22 caliber Beretta pistol, chopped up the body with a chain saw, put it in a freezer at the parlor, and eventually buried it downstairs in the cellar, the Austria Press Agency reported.

Prosecutor Petra Freh described the defendant, who appeared before a packed court wearing a grey dress and flanked by prison guards and her celebrity defense lawyer Rudolf Mayer, as "ice-cold" and a "ticking time bomb".

"It's clear that the defendant has two faces," Freh said, warning that Carranza could kill again.

Carranza told the court the nature of her husband, Holger Holz, had completely changed after their wedding, and that matters had got worse when they were evicted from their apartment and moved into the ice cream shop, and Holz joined the Hare Krishna movement.

"He slept until 10 o'clock and came at 11 o'clock. We had no ice cream. He did nothing. He didn't want to get a grip," she said.

Even after she started a relationship with ice cream machine salesman Manfred Hinterberger and divorced Holz, he refused to move out, she told the court on Monday.

One Sunday, after an argument about the issue, she said she had shot Holz twice in the back of the head and once in the temple as he sat at his computer.

'Behind the facade'

Mayer, who unsuccessfully defended Austria's most notorious living criminal Josef Fritzl in 2009, said the psychiatrist's report on Carranza showed that her danger to society could be red

Delivering the verdict on Thursday, chief prosecutor Petra Freh described the murders as "horrific".

She said Carranza was a "highly dangerous woman ready to do anything".

In her final statement, Carranza said: "I can't say anything other than that I am sorry."

The remains of her ex-husband Holger Holz and lover Manfred Hinterberger were found during routine maintenance works in the shop last year.

Carranza then fled the country to neighbouring Italy in a taxi, but was captured and extradited several days later.

During the trial, Carranza pleaded guilty to all the charges.

The defence argued that she had been tyrannised by the two men and this should be taken into account.

A court psychiatrist determined that Carranza suffered from a personality disorder as well as serious mental abnormalities.

The trial attracted a huge media interest in Austria, with the accused being dubbed in the press "the Ice Killer".

Estibaliz Carranza was a smart, beautiful, young woman with her whole life ahead of her. Her dream was to get married and start a family. It is all she wanted. But things didn't go as planned. Instead of ‘happily ever after’, she was arrested and prosecuted for the disappearance and death of two of her partners. Why? Join us to hear about what led her to eliminate the men in her life, about the manhunt that ensued upon her fleeing the country, her capture, sentencing, and life in prison.
