It has been suggested on this forum that the MO of DM and HaB was the same due to the filming aspect of the crime - that this is unusual.
Today on the BBC are two stories of horrific sex offenders committing and filming crimes. One is in France, the other Australia and Italy.

Man accused of recruiting strangers to rape his wife
The men are accused of assaulting the woman, who was so heavily sedated she was not aware of the abuse, her lawyers say.www.bbc.com
The differences are equally compelling IMO.To be fair though, it wasn't just the filming that led the comparisons. Whether or not it was CB, the ritual aspects of the attacks in the DM, HaB and the unknown elderly victim are imo compelling.
There's a argument it's not CB with the lifting of the arrest warrant because there is no urgent suspicion.Starts again tomorrow doesnt it, interesting to hear who witnesses might be.To be fair though, it wasn't just the filming that led the comparisons.

Well yes considering he still remains in jail, just what the concerns are, is it the verdict won't be announced any time soon after the trial completion? No doubt CB is a dangerous character but he can't be kept in jail just because of that, maybe they don't monitor after release.I really don't know the significance of the lifting of the arrest warrant but it certainly upset the prosecution to the extent that they made claims against the impartiality of the judges, so it cannot just be a legal technicality.
IMO
As far as I can make out it is not "just be a legal technicality". Under normal circumstances the successful defence argument for the lifting of the arrest warrant would have enabled CB the freedom to walk the streets between trial dates as the innocent man the law deems him to be.I really don't know the significance of the lifting of the arrest warrant but it certainly upset the prosecution to the extent that they made claims against the impartiality of the judges, so it cannot just be a legal technicality.

CB is a flight risk as can be seen from his extraditions from Portugal and Italy under European Arrest Warrants.Well yes considering he still remains in jail, just what the concerns are, is it the verdict won't be announced any time soon after the trial completion?

IMO a argument needs to from a German perspective ie once freed from his present sentence is he monitored ? not the British msm sensationalism.CB is a flight risk as can be seen from his extraditions from Portugal and Italy under European Arrest Warrants.
He is also a serial offender and career criminal who is accused of being a domestic violence perpetrator.
Snip
While in Braunschweig, CB ran a kiosk selling drinks and snacks. He was accused of assaulting the woman he lived with, NF, who was not the mother of his victim.
During a raid on his flat, police seized a laptop and other devices on which they found the photographs.
Analysis of the images allowed the officers to identify the scene of the attack and the girl, who had moved to another part of Germany with her mother.
By then, however, CB had fled to the Algarve in Portugal, where he had been living intermittently since the mid-1990s.
German authorities issued an EU-wide arrest warrant, but it was four years before officers in Portugal seized him after responding to reports that he had exposed himself to children at a park about 40 miles from Praia da Luz.
CB, who is referred to as ‘Christian B’ by German justice officials, was extradited back to Germany, convicted and given a 15-month jail term in March 2017.
