In Köthen (Saxony-Anhalt) about eight months ago two 18- and 20-year-old Afghans brutally beat up a 22-year-old German in a brutal attack. A short time later, the victim died. According to the authorities, the official cause of death was “heart failure”! About eight months after the cruel act, the Dessau-Roßlau Regional Court sentenced the two defendants. They were guilty of bodily injury resulting in death. The incomprehensible sentence: The 18-year-old defendant was only sentenced to one year and five months! His 20-year-old Afghan compatriot was additionally sentenced to a total of one year and eight months for two other crimes…The victim’s family reportedly reacted aggressively to the verdict. A brother of the deceased knocked over a table, a sister screamed. The judicial officers had to intervene and the defendants were led out of the room for a short time. The death of the young German had not been a mere accident, but had been caused negligently by the assault of the accused, but the crime was not adequate for a conviction for murder. Because the man had a serious heart condition.
