Kassel – A 49-year-old man has been sentenced to thirteen years in prison by the Kassel Regional Court for manslaughtering his wife.
The court saw it as proven that the man killed the 32-year-old with at least 30 stab wounds after a dispute in front of their five children between the ages of one and eleven.
With the decision, the court fell short of the demands of the public prosecutor’s office and the joint prosecutor, who had pleaded for aggravated manslaughter or murder. The judges did not consider murder criteria to be met. The presiding judge justified the decision by saying that it was an impulse act committed in emotional excitement.
The judge said the couple’s relationship was problematic. Even before the crime, the accused had become aggressive towards his wife. “But mostly because of the kids, she didn’t break up.” Nevertheless, in the course of the proceedings it became apparent that the picture was not as black as the prosecution had painted it.
The public prosecutor accused the accused of having acted out of base motives. According to the information, the Iraqis are said to have lived strictly according to Muslim principles. According to the public prosecutor’s office, however, his wife maintained a modern lifestyle and wanted a separation.
He understood that as a “defamation”. According to the presiding judge, the image of the Muslim living according to strict religious rules was not confirmed.
Possible motive for murder? Wife rejected her husband’s Muslim principles
The character of the man is still special. “The defendant is an impulsive person prone to aggression,” he said. He is credited with the fact that he has no criminal record, has not attempted to escape and has neither covered up nor denied the crime. At the start of the trial, the accused had testified that he could remember the arguments with his wife, but not the act itself.
The Iraqi was also sentenced to pay survivor’s benefits of €20,000 each to his five children. The judgment is not final, an appeal is possible.
