BGH upholds the ruling of Sieger in its decision.
In a shocking case that has gripped the region, the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe has upheld the life imprisonment sentence for a 24-year-old man who murdered his former girlfriend in the summer of 2023.
The tragic incident occurred on a dirt road in Emmerich, where the defendant, who is also the victim's ex-partner, stabbed the 23-year-old woman from Dreis-Tiefenbach nearly 30 times. The gruesome crime took place in August 2023, and the victim's disappearance raised immediate suspicions, leading the authorities to the defendant.
The Regional Court of Siegen classified the act as a cowardly murder and initially sentenced the man to life imprisonment last year. The court's decision was based on the evidence presented, which included the number and nature of the wounds inflicted, the location of the crime, and the fact that the two young children were present in the car during the murder, but were not harmed.
The defendant appealed to the BGH to review the verdict, but his appeal was denied. The BGH found no errors in the verdict and confirmed the conviction of the man for the cowardly murder of his former girlfriend. The BGH also rejected the defendant's appeal to review the sentence.
The BGH's decision brings closure to the family and friends of the victim, who have been mourning her loss for over a year. The case serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help when needed.
The defendant's identity has not been disclosed to protect the privacy of the victim and her family. The public is encouraged to support organisations that help victims of domestic violence and raise awareness about the issue.
