Cutthroat School Slashings: Teen's Sentence Stands
Right-wing extremist school assault in Wuppertal incurs four injuries; Juvenile offender convicted for the incident - Assault at Wuppertal School Leaves Four Wounded: Consequences for Pupils Involved
Take a peek
In a chilling verdict, the Wuppertal District Court upheld the sentence for a 17-year-old who went on a rampage with a knife in a school common room back in February 2024. The sentence, handed down in September, was for three attempted murders and one count of aggravated assault.
The court's ruling was based on its finding that the teenage assailant had attacked vulnerable, defenceless victims from behind, inflicting dangerous wounds to necks and heads. These injuries put the victims' lives at grave risk, as the attacker was reckless with their lives.
However, when it came to the fourth victim, the story changed. The 17-year-old initially stabbed himself before turning on another student, this time attacking from the front and with less force. The court concluded that there was no clear intent to kill in this instance.
Having consulted with experts, the court determined that the 17-year-old was impaired at the time of the crime. Given the gravity of his actions, a youth sentence was imposed. However, numerous mitigating circumstances were taken into account, considering the challenging circumstances the teen was facing at the time of the attack.
Following his appeal to the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe, no legal errors were found, thereby finalizing the verdict.
