‘Ice Lady’ confesses to dismembering her two lovers with a chain saw and freezing their bodies

A former ice cream parlour 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 calibre Beretta pistol, chopped up the body with a chain saw, put it in a freezer at the parlour, and eventually buried it downstairs in the cellar, the Austria Press Agency reported.

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.

Guilty I’m afraid, but she may win on appeal (split verdict). Although there are extenuating factors that must be taken into count on her behalf (i.e., her hotness) - the temptation to call her Not Guilty may be too dangerous.

Ironic. Her husband was named Ben and her lover was named Jerry

well, she did use the same chain saw I guess and froze the bodies instead of dumping them. So probably she does recycle...:)

I do my Bela Lugosi imitation around mine — which is dumb ‘cause it’s a Hungarian accent, but I can’t imitate the Polish accent — it’s not as obvious as the Hungarian or the Russian

Due to Europe’s humanism towards crime, she probably won’t get more than 20 years.

yup, the EU has eliminated the death penalty. Though, to be fair, she says she was abused by the men, so even in the US she might just get imprisonment for life.

Yes, she has at least one lawyer. That’s a strike against going out with her.

The guy joined the Hari Krishna? Boy, as someone that disavowed violence, he sure picked the wrong chick to work with.

Boy, a decent looking woman and living in an ice cream shop. Talk about not realizing when you got it good!

“Holz joined the Hare Krishna movement.”

Okay, that one is a freebie. Maybe she’ll be found guilty for the other killing.
