He also killed his former girlfriend and her little child. The 35-year-old received a life sentence for this. Ultimately, he will always be reminded of his terrible deed - just by his appearance.
Coburg (dpa / lby) - A man was sentenced to life imprisonment on Monday in Coburg for killing his ex-girlfriend and her two-year-old daughter. The Coburg district court assessed the acts as murder and manslaughter. In addition, the Trial Chamber determined the particular gravity of the guilt. As a result, the perpetrator could only be released on probation after 15 years in exceptional cases.
Prosecutors originally charged the Moroccan with a double murder. At Pentecost last year, he stabbed the woman and her daughter in an accommodation for asylum seekers in Kronach. The man had denied murder in court. He only wanted to hurt his ex-partner, said the 35-year-old.
Ultimately, the court saw the act of the 31-year-old woman as manslaughter and the killing of the little girl as murder. The judge compared the act on the child to an execution.
The man's defense attorney had tried to prevent the increase in punishment requested by the public prosecutor's office due to the particular severity of the guilt. The lawyer pointed out that his client had caused himself serious injuries after the bloody attempt in a suicide attempt. The defendant said the defendant was "branded externally and internally for the rest of his life".
The man had doused himself with liquid grill lighter and set himself on fire. This caused a deflagration. Rooms of the accommodation also caught fire, which is why the man was also convicted of arson. The accused survived with serious injuries and is still marked by the burn injuries to this day.
The process began in the spring. Because of the poor state of health of the accused, trial days were even held in the man's sickroom at the Bayreuth Clinic.
