Freya's (19) mysterious death

Drowned at home
Father succumbed to cult madness

Freya was just 19 when the doctor on emergency duty was called to her death on December 25, 1999. When the medical technician entered the room, a feeling of misgiving came over him. The Bach cantata "Oh Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" boomed deafeningly throughout the house in the small village near Forcheim.

Jakobus N., the father of the deceased, stood motionlessly in the room as did his son Nils (18) - no tears or sign of sorrow. The doctor called the police. The autopsy showed that Freya N. had drowned. Nine months later her death is still unexplained and the state attorney's office is investigating. Early yesterday the police took Jakobus N. away in handcuffs - the man was committed to the psychiatric ward as a public menace. That is because Jakobus N. succumbed to cult madness. He subjected his family to methods of torture for years. For instance, he tortured his wife Carla (name changed) by drenching her with cold water. The 60-year-old woman said, "What if he had done the same thing with Freya?"

On that December day after Freya's death, Jakobus N. gave the police investigators a letter written by her: "Early this morning I took another ten-minute cold bath" his daughter jotted down the morning of the day she died. How many 19-year-old girls voluntarily take a cold bath in winter? And jot it down? Freya's mother, Carla N. (60) has some answers. She fled to the Nuernberg house for women in 1997 after years of torture. When the mother, a painter, met her future husband of 24 years, he was a member of the Scientology sect. Jakobus' life goal was to rise to the top of the sect hierarchy, but he was thwarted by the sect leaders.

During that time, Freya and Nils were born, then Flavia in 1983. At that time the family was living near Heidelberg. Even though the frail baby had caught a cold and could barely breath, Jakobus forbade calling a doctor or using nose drops. Carla obeyed. Ten days after its birth the child died of asphyxiation. The doctor attested to the sudden death of the child.

He [Jakobus] later disseminated his deluded concepts via the internet, "He thought L. Ron Hubbard wanted to annihilate him from the great beyond," was how Carla described his state of mind. Freya had to redo those internet pages every day.

While Carla N. managed to escape to the women's home, the children stayed with their father. Shortly after Freya's death, the state attorney applied for a warrant for the arrest of the father - however the magistrate did not see a pressing need of suspicion. Jakobus N. stayed free and the police looked for evidence.

"Did Jakobus torture her to death? A question the mother has been asking herself ever since. Friedrich Kraus, the Bamberg leading state attorney, is also investigating the case of Freya's death.

This is a story Tilman failed to report.

Koos Nolst Trenite taken by police for suspected murder....

A friend in Munich sent me this translation of an article in Abendzeitung on September 22, 2000. The names have been changed to hide the identity of the family, but "Jakobus N" can only be Koos. This tragic event, was the result of a deranged mind driven to violence by the hate spread on a.r.s.

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF FREYA

Did the father kill the nineteen year old?

Freya N. was only 19 years old when the ambulance was called to her death on the 25th of December 1999. When the medical man entered the room, a bad feeling came over him: In the whole house in the small village near Forchheim, the song "Oh Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" (Oh Head full of blood and wounds) by Bach resounded deafeningly.

The father of the deceased, Jakobus N., and his son Nils (18) were standing motionless in the room -- no crying, no sorrow. The doctor called the police. The autopsy established that Freya N. had drowned. Three quarters of a year later, her death is still considered unsolved and the public prosecutor is investigating.

Yesterday morning, the police picked Jakobus N. up in handcuffs -- he was sent to a psychiatric clinic because he was considered to be a public menace.

For several years, his family was subject to his methods of torture. He tortured his wife Carla (named changed) with gushes of cold water. The 60 year old: "What if he has done the same to Freya?"

On that day in December, after Freya's death, Jakobus N. gave a letter, written by Freya, to the criminal police: "This morning, I took another cold bath of the minutes," his daughter had written the morning of the day of her death. Which 19 year old voluntarily takes a cold bath in winter? And notes that down? The answers can be found with Carla N., Freya's mother. After years of torture, she took refuge in the womens' house in Nurnberg in 1997. When the artist met her husband 24 years ago, he was a member of the Scientology sect. Jakobus' life goal, to move up in the sect hierarchy, was however prevented by sect leaders.

In that time, Freya and Nils were born, and in 1983, Flavia. At that time, the family was living in Heidelberg. When the weak baby was sick and could hardly breathe, Jakobus forbid calling a doctor or using nose drops, and Carla obeyed. Ten days after her birth, the child suffocated. The doctor attested the sudden death of the child. In the Internet, he later distributes his delusion. "L. Ron Hubbard was trying to kill him hereafter," Carla N. describes his frame of mind. Freya had to update the web pages daily. Carla N. succeeded in running away to the women's house, and the children remained with the father. Just after Freya's death, the public prosecutor proposed the father be arrested. Jakobus N. remains in freedom, the police were searching for evidence.

"Did Jakobus N. torture her to death?" a question the mother has been asking herself over and over since then. The senior public prosecutor Friedrich Kraus is still investigating the death of Freya.
