A square in Stuttgart, several men are arguing on the street, one of them pulls a knife. A 22-year-old dies. The rocker milieu is quickly mentioned. The start of the process is tumultuous, the pronouncement of judgment extremely strictly secured.
Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - After a deadly knife attack on the street, four men involved in the bloody deed were sentenced to several years in prison. According to the conviction of the Stuttgart district court, they were present at the brawl; but there is no evidence that one of them also delivered the deadly stab, as the chamber ruled on Wednesday. The four men, presumably from the rocker milieu, have to be in prison for between four years and four years and three months for dangerous bodily harm and brawls. A suspended sentence was imposed on a woman who is said to have helped the quartet.
The deadly dispute broke out on October 10, 2021 in the Feuerbach district. According to the presiding judge, the previously convicted men and at least one accomplice ambushed their victim, beat them with batons and then finally stabbed them to death. A man on the run, who is very likely to be in Turkey, is considered a key suspect. "It cannot be ruled out for the chamber that this man stabbed the injured party," said the presiding judge. The murder weapon with possible fingerprints could not be found to this day.
At the start of the trial, the public prosecutor's office had accused the men of joint insidious murder, but at the end of the trial they only pleaded for all four to cause bodily harm resulting in death. For the men between the ages of 20 and 25, some of whom have confessed, she is demanding between six and a half and seven years in prison. The lawyer for the relatives of the dead man, on the other hand, had demanded a penalty for murder in the secondary prosecution.
"There seems to be a bundle of motifs in the room," said the judge. The victim wanted to break away from the group of the so-called Esslinger Kurds - this group is said to have emerged from the banned rocker-like gang Red Legion. In addition, one of the attackers did not like that the 22-year-old was with his sister. A then 21-year-old was also injured in the dispute in broad daylight.
In Stuttgart and the districts of Esslingen and Ludwigsburg, there used to be bloody clashes between the Red Legion and other rocker and rocker-like groups. The gang was recruited from young men of Kurdish origin. After a young man died in clashes in Esslingen at the end of 2012, the club was banned in 2013.
