Dafür, dass die amerikanischen Dokus bestenfalls Schnipsel der Geständnisse dokumentieren, finde ich, dass wir durch die aktuelle deutsche Doku deutlich mehr erfahren. Und durch Söring selbst.
Ich fasse das mal zusammen.

Vernehmung durch den deutschen Staatsanwalt:(24:17 Double murder part 2)
Prosecutor: How did one actually get the idea to do something like this?
Defendant: It is quite clear to me that at least on the part of Elizabeth it had to resolve in something like this. I was told stories about what her parents had done to her. That she was raped in Switzerland, and her parents neglected her. And a social worker in Canada was even going to take her away from home because she had accused the parents of neglect. (I) hated the parents more and more, because I loved Elizabeth so incredibly, she was my everything, I believed everything she said. I believed that the parents treated her terribly, abused and attacked her
Prosecutor: We now come to the act itself. I told you you need not say anything.
[...]
The defendant continues: It was Saturday evening, I was led in by Mr Haysom. Mrs Haysom was painting, she painted as a hobby and she came down, splashed with paint. I was than offered something to eat.
What happened after that was a weird and a very loud conversation. I did not know any more about the triggering point was - but something was said, I flew off the handle and wanted to run out of the house. Mr Haysom got up and pushed me against the wall. The next thing I can remember is that I stood behind Mr Haysom and than blood ran from his neck into his lap. I simply could not grasp it.
Prosecutor: What could you not grasp?
Defendant: That I stood there with a knife in my hand [...]
[Prosecutor]:From where did you have the knife?
Defendant: This is a question which I also have not answered to the American officer. [...]
There was quite a lot of blood on the floor. all three of us were continually slipping and getting up again. The last I remember, I was at the door to the living room. I saw her going to the kitchen with both hands at her neck. Mr Haysom was still screaming. He tried to get up after probably having slipped on the blood. That is about the last I can clearly remember. After that I left the house towards the car. I can only remember Mr Haysom as he was lying on the floor half in the dining and half in the living room. The legs of Mr Haysom were in the living room and the upper part of Mrs Haysom was in the kitchen.
My clothes were very bloodstained and I wanted to throw them away. On the way to the rubbish container I hit a little dog which ran across the road.
Aus derselben Vernehmung: Defendant: I don't know whether I stabbed him in the neck or cut down along the neck. . . .
Prosecutor: Diagonal cut through the artery?
Defendant: Yes, that was it. [...] finally I injured Mrs. Haysom, too, at her neck [...] I can remember that I caused both of them neck wounds. (
