BRIT FEARS AS KILLER VAMPIRE FREED
Devil lover drank blood
A KILLER vampire who sacrificed his pal to Satan to drink his blood could head to Britain after being freed from prison.
German Daniel Ruda, 41, will be released next week after spending 16 years behind bars for the gruesome killing.
Ruda and his now ex-wife Manuela stabbed Frank Hackert 66 times on a coffin they used as a coffee table. The pair, who lived in Bochum, Germany, spent holidays in England and Scotland where they enjoyed sleeping in graveyards and going to devil-worshipping parties.
Manuela, who served a 13-year sentence, has since been released from a psychiatric unit with a new identity but is still receiving treatment.
She told her trial that she learnt about Satanism in England and Scotland.
The couple boasted that they sacrificed their friend because he was funny and “would be the perfect court jester for Satan”.

After stabbing him, they both drank his blood.
The couple met after Ruda put an advert in a lonely hearts column, stating: “Vampire seeks princess of darkness that hates everyone and everything.”
Car parts salesman Ruda, who worked as a librarian in prison, petitioned for his release last year.
His lawyer Hans Reinhardt said at the time: “We want to show that he is not a dangerous man.
“In jail he takes no drugs, drinks no alcohol.”
Mr Reinhardt added: “His mother, who is 75, visits him regularly.
“She has only one wish – to see her son free again before she dies.
“He wants to rejoin society, find a wife, settle down and then have a family.
“It is right that he be allowed to rejoin society.”
However the victim’s family were angry at the move.
His mother Doris said: “It would be a nightmare for me if they let him out.”
And her husband Hermann said: “Ruda will be walking into a bright future but I will only be walking into the cemetery to visit my son.”
