Man attempts to drown pregnant wife; receives 13-year prison sentence - Man attempts to drown pregnant spouse; receives 13-year imprisonment term.
In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a 25-year-old Syrian man faces a 13-year prison term, convicted by the Detmold Regional Court for his despicable act of trying to drown his pregnant wife. Last August, this callous act resulted in the loss of their unborn child and left his wife in a vegetative state with severe brain damage.
The jury, in their verdict, found him guilty of attempted manslaughter, finding insufficient evidence to support the prosecution's claim of deep-rooted patriarchal beliefs and disdain for women as the motive. Instead, they pointed to a potentially explosive argument that spiraled into an attempted killing after a tense evening rendezvous by the lake.
