René Osterwalder

René Osterwalder was a notorious Swiss criminal known for his heinous sexual offenses against young children, including acts of violence that captured national attention. After being convicted in 1998 and sentenced to 17 years in prison, he was held indefinitely due to the severity of his crimes. His actions, which included the sexual abuse of toddlers and the filming of his acts, led to a lengthy and controversial incarceration. Osterwalder's life ended at the age of over 70 through assisted suicide, making him only the second inmate in Zurich's correctional system to choose this option since it was permitted in 2021.
