Jens Söring, usually rendered in English as Jens Soering, is a German convicted double murderer.
In 1990, he was convicted in Virginia, United States of America of murdering the parents of his then-girlfriend, Elizabeth Haysom. For her role in the deaths, Haysom was convicted of two counts of accessory before the fact to murder.
In prison, Söring claimed he was not guilty. After fourteen parole requests and numerous petitions for a gubernatorial pardon - all unsuccessful - he was released on probation and deported to Germany in 2019. Söring appears on talk shows, has an exclusive contract with Netflix and uses his case in the media. In Germany, for legal reasons, Söring is not allowed to accuse his ex-girlfriend of the crime. Instead, Söring portrayed himself as a victim and critic of an unjust US justice system.
The killings took place at the Haysom residence in the Boonsboro area of Lynchburg, Virginia in March 1985. Söring fled the United States shortly thereafter. They were arrested in London in April 1986.
