Berlin, Germany – In a harrowing confession that has sent shockwaves through the music world, legendary guitarist Michael Schenker has admitted to the unthinkable: the murder of his younger sister, Barbara Schenker.

According to Schenker, the tragedy stemmed from a heated argument that escalated beyond control. He claims that years of tension, jealousy, and unresolved family issues came to a boiling point in a single, fateful moment. “We were fighting about something stupid, something that doesn’t even matter now,” he recounted. “But it just got out of hand and lost control.”
Schenker detailed how, in a fit of rage, Barbara Schen was struck, leading to the injuries that ultimately claimed her life. “It wasn’t premeditated; it wasn’t planned,” he insisted, his eyes brimming with tears. “But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s gone because of me.”
The guitarist, who has been a prominent figure in the rock scene for decades, revealed that the weight of this has been unbearable. “Every time I pick up my guitar, I see her face. Every note I play feels like a dagger in my heart,” he said. “I thought I could live with it, but I can’t. The guilt is destroying me.”
Michael Schenker’s confession has left the music community reeling. Fans who once idolized the guitarist are now grappling with the horrifying reality of his admission. Tributes to Barbara Schenker, once filled with fond memories and praise for her musical talent, have now taken on a darker tone, as people struggle to reconcile the tragedy with the person they thought they knew.
Authorities have confirmed that they are reopening the investigation into Barbara Schenker’s death in light of her brother’s confession. “We are taking Mr. Schenker’s statements very seriously and will be conducting a thorough inquiry to determine the full circumstances surrounding her death,” said a spokesperson for the Berlin police.
As the world waits for the next chapter in this shocking saga, Michael Schenker remains tormented by this actions. “I don’t know what comes next,” he said. “But I had to tell the truth. I couldn’t live with the lies anymore.”
