A DOUBLE killer posted a video online of him butchering a nine-year-old boy.

And he later messaged: “Doesn’t feel bad tbh.” Marcel Hesse, 19, murdered his young neighbour Jaden by stabbing him 56 times after luring him into his cellar. After posting a video of the bloodbath on the dark web he went on the run for four days before giving himself up. He alerted police to a fire in a nearby apartment where the body of a second victim – named only as 22-year-old Christophe­r W – was found. Hesse had stabbed him 68 times then posed for a selfie holding up the bloodied blade inside the flat. He sent that snap to a pal. Police last night described him as a “brutal killer” and said he had confessed to both crimes.

Blood

In one chatroom Hesse had written: “I know people die slowly when you slaughter them.” Another message said: “I just killed the neighbour’s child, doesn’t feel bad tbh, my hand bleeds lil which is the only thing annoying me. “I actually wanted to get a girl in here so I can rape her.”' Pictures showed him washing a knife and posing for a selfie with blood on his hands. Police said that after killing Jaden on Monday in Herne, Germany, Hesse hid in a wood before going to the home of his second victim, who he had met at college. Lawyer Reinhard Peters, who is representi­ng Jaden’s family, said they were “relieved” Hesse had been captured alive to “await the full punishment of the law for his crime”. Jaden’s mum Jeanette, 41, said Hesse’s sister had once told her he was “an absolute psycho”. Last night detectives were trying to trace a third possible victim. After killing Jaden, Hesse told an internet chatroom he had also attacked a woman, adding: “She offered more resistance than the child.”
