MeterA gift on the day of acquaintance every month. In less than a year and a half, 88,000 mobile phone text messages did not have any substantive arguments. Suddenly, a cruel crime against high school graduates occurred in a car in Lüneburg superior. A cold January night. This dish did not find a reasonable motivation for a 19-year-old friend to stabbed his girlfriend of the same age with a 30cm-long kitchen knife 40 times, sometimes very deeply. The Youth Division of the District Court sentenced the defendant to 12 and a half years’ imprisonment for murder under the Adult Criminal Law on Thursday (AZ: 31 KLs 1501 Js). She can’t see any despicable motives, but she prefers insidious.
The judgment met the requirements of the prosecutor, who did not file a life-long defense because he was still a teenager. The verdict has not yet been finalized, and an appeal can be filed within a week. The perpetrator must pay the costs of litigation and the costs of subordinate litigation. “We ruled out emotional behavior,” the trial judge Volker Koenig said in the hour-long verdict. He once expressed regret and submitted a written confession, but the “absolute will to annihilate” accounted for a large proportion.
“Unconditional Will to Destroy”
The behavior moved Hanseatic City. During many days of trial, the audience had to be turned away, including the victim’s classmates. When the verdict was announced, friends came in wearing shirts with an inscription: “Dear Jana—we miss you.” All of them—especially their family members—want to get answers. Don’t get any. Allegedly, the alleged high school student suddenly filed an accusation against her partner, which was also related to her love life, said in a statement read by the lawyer. According to eyewitnesses, this is inconsistent with the nature of continuous harmony. “The possibility of serious provocation and mitigation of the defendant’s guilt can be ruled out,” Judge König emphasized.
A psychiatric assessor will not judge a crime as an emotional behavior. The argument against it is that the perpetrator wanted to cover up the traces and made a deep cut on her wrist, which should indicate suicide, and later left a voice message on her mobile phone. The young man has two faces, looks friendly and generous, and then is grumpy and calculating. Experts have found that he has an aggravated narcissistic personality-interference with self-esteem and the pursuit of feelings are typical. There are a lot of lies, account overdrafts and theft, it also came out.
The affiliated prosecutor saw malice and low motives in the barbaric use of kitchen knives. Because the crime was particularly serious, family representatives demanded a life-long confession. However, they think this judgment is very balanced. “Hopefully this can be the end of this family,” said lawyer Steffen Hörning. The Chamber proceeded very carefully.
The victim’s father found his daughter in the evening, because she did not return home from work in the bar, and he kept bursting into tears in court. Judge König asked the perpetrator who was sitting with his head down to accept the crime and one day explain the reason to his family. He was treated as a son.
