Where are Elizabeth Haysom and Jens Soering now after Till Murder Do Us Part?

Elizabeth Haysom and Jens Soering from Netflix’s Till Murder Do Us Part

Netflix documentary TV series titled Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering vs. Haysom, follows the 1985 conviction of Jens Soering as he is charged with the murders of his then girlfriend’s parents.

Soering was 18 years old at the time, while his partner Hayson was 20 years old. The pair fled to England after the deaths despite not being considered suspects at first until they were arrested in 1986 for fraud and using false papers.

Jens Soering confessed to the double murder, admitting that he killed his partner’s parents while she waited for him at a hotel. However, he later swapped his story and claimed that he was the one waiting.

Elizabeth Haysom and Jens Soering were found guilty of two counts of accessory to murder and murder respectively after the deaths of the former’s parents in 1985.

The pair were paroled in November 2019, but not pardoned.

Where is Jens Soering now?

Jens Soering went on to reverse his account of events, to allege that his partner committed the murders and it was actually him who was waiting at a hotel. He pleaded non-guilty but was found guilty.

Soering served his sentence at the Buckingham Correctional Center in Dillwyn, Virginia.

During his sentence, he wrote several books including his 1995 autobiography Mortal Thoughts, in which he continued to argue that he did not commit the two murders.

He also converted from Buddhism to Catholicism in prison and therefore wrote about religion too.

The convict unsuccessfully requested parole 14 times, before having it granted in 2019 aged 53 with a statement from the board citing his age at the time.

Without pardon, Soering was immediately deported to Germany after his parole, hailing his return home on December 17 as the “best day of my life”, as per Daily Mail reports.

Despite being found guilty and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences, Jens Soering continues to protest his innocence.

Since his release, Jens Soering has been somewhat in the public eye and has been directly interviewed in the new Netflix series Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering vs. Haysom.

Today, in 2023, the German still proclaims his innocence and recently wanted to turn his imprisonment into a motivational speech that focus on resilience, as per The Scotsman reports.

Soering was pictured during a press conference after arriving in Germany following his extradition from the US after receiving a partial pardon, on December 17, 2019, at the airport in Frankfurt am Main, western Germany.

Where is Elizabeth Haysom now?

While Soering has been in the public eye since his release, Haysom has stayed out of the spotlight. 

Following Elizabeth Haysom’s release and being deported back to Canada in 2020, there has been no further information made publicly available.

At Soering’s trial, she testified that she had manipulated her boyfriend into committing the killings because her parents wanted her to end the relationship.

20-year-old Haysom pleaded guilty to two counts of accessory before the fact to murder in 1987.

Elizabeth Haysom was released from prison to the custody of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and was then deported to her home country of Canada in 2020 after not being pardoned.

Being granted parole in 2019, she had served 32 years of her 90-year sentence at Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women in Troy, Virginia.
