A follow-up to our entry on Manuela Ruda and her husband, the London vampire duo who slaughtered a German friend, drank his blood, then (for dessert?) fornicated in some satin-lined coffins they keep lying around…
From The Telegraph: “A woman who says she and her husband killed a German friend with 66 knife wounds on orders from the devil has claimed that she became a satanist in Britain.”
[…] Manuela Ruda and her husband, Daniel, have admitted killing their friend, Frank Haagen, “for Satan”. She said she got a taste for vampirism and the occult while in London and Scotland.
[…]Mrs Ruda, 23, gave a chilling account of drinking blood from volunteers contacted on the internet. She said: ‘I was in England and Scotland, met people and vampires in London. We went out at night, to cemeteries, in ruins and in the woods.
‘We drank blood together, from willing donors. You can’t drink from the arteries, no-one is allowed that. I had implanted pegs put in the teeth which were pulled out and were replaced with fangs.
‘I also slept on graves and even allowed myself to be buried in a grave to test the feeling. I signed over my soul to Satan two and a half years ago.’
The couple have denied responsibility for killing Mr Haagen, 33, although both have admitted committing the crime.
So, lesseeeee….you stabbed him, right? Admitted to drinking his blood? Left his body to decompose next to the coffins you keep in your flat to sleep in — all that’s true, yes? But you claim you didn’t murder him? Forgive me, I’m just trying to understand — root causes, extenuating financial circumstances, prior oppressions, bad hair day…y’know, that sort of thing. Care to elaborate?
[…] ‘It was not murder. We are not murderers. It was the execution of an order. Satan ordered us to. We had to comply. It was not something bad. It simply had to be. We wanted to make sure that the victim suffered well.’
Oh! Okay! I think I’m starting to get it. So, like, this was some sort of satanic jihad, then? Or wait — something else, something…like out of Stephen King’s Christine…?
Her husband compared himself and his wife to a vehicle involved in a fatal accident. ‘The car would not be charged,” he said. “The driver is the bad guy. I have nothing to regret because I haven’t done anything.’
Mrs Ruda said she and her 26-year-old husband lured their victim to their flat. When they arrived a ‘strange force’ and ‘other beings’ were present.
‘We were sitting on the couch the whole time, then my husband stood up,’ she said. ‘He had terrible, glowing eyes and hit out with the hammer.
‘Frank stood up and said something, or wanted to say something. The knife was glowing and a voice told me: “Stab him in the heart.”‘
‘He then sank down. I saw a light flickering around him. That was the sign that his soul was going down. We said a satanic prayer.
‘We were then exhausted, and alone, wanted to die ourselves. But the visitation was too short. We could no longer kill ourselves.’
Sheesh, aint’ that the way it always happens with this satanic blood lettings…? The devil’s such an ungrateful party guest…– ed.
After killing Mr Haagen the couple cut an occult star on his stomach, drank his blood from a bowl and had sex in an oak coffin in which Mrs. Ruda usually slept.
The couple were arrested in their flat, the walls of which were covered in satanic slogans and hung with an array of knives, axes and machetes.

On my worst goth day, I haven’t looke this maniacal.
Alas, I have work to do!
Brits as bloodsuckers is not an unfamiliar trope to those here in Galway—though Mrs. Ruda appears to have nicer teeth than most Londoners I know…
Alexis
Christ! I do believe I used to date that lass! There but for the grace of God, eh what?
I love Manuela Ruda…Blessings of Satan upon her!
