Zurich: “Baby QUAL” René Osterwalder is dead

The sex offender René Osterwalder, who became known as the “baby torture” as “baby torture”, is dead. This is what a former prisoner says compared to 20 minutes. The directorate of the judiciary and the interior confirmed on Monday the death of the imprisonment compared to 20 minutes. On April 16, 2025, he was “with the help of an euthanasia organization”. The end of death took place outside the premises of the JVA Pöschwies, says Oliver Baumann, the deputy head of the judiciary and the interior management.

According to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the opinion of the Federal Court, the right to self -determination, the type and time of their death, also applies to freely in the event of deprivation of liberty.

This means that prisoners and kept have access to an euthanasia organization. This checks whether all requirements for assisted suicide are met. The euthanasia organization is responsible for the correct implementation.

The father of three had misused toddlers and filmed his actions. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison and kept in the JVA Pöschwies. He had tortured two girls in baby and toddlers (one and two years) with electricity, needles and blows and almost suffocated. He committed violent and sexual assault for hours. He had also raped a twelve -year -old boy.

His girlfriend at the time was partly in the crime apartment and was aware of the attacks. It was sentenced to four years of prison. What became of her is unclear.

René Osterwalder had tried several times to act against his custody. Most recently, in 2021 he came to the Zurich Administrative Court. Before that, he had tried twice to be released from the custody. The Federal Supreme Court decided in December 2017 that it would continue to be kept.

Once the baby torture caused a sensation because he stepped into the hunger strike. On the other hand, René Osterwalder protested that a prisoner who had killed a man in the gay milieu and started a relationship with which Osterwalder in Regensdorf had started to another prison.
