All Saints’ Day 2018: Together with her husband, Mrs. S. walks along the street Sonnleithnergasse in Vienna’s Favoriten district. In front of a mosque there is a group of young people. As if from nowhere, says Mrs. S., a then 18-year-old kicked her husband in the stomach. The 67-year-old pensioner fell with his head on the edge of the pavement so unhappily that after several weeks in a coma he finally died of his injuries. Now his widow and daughter talk about the attack – the day when the husband and family man disappeared from their lives forever. Both have left their former home district of Favoriten forever. All that remains are family albums, memories, cemetery visits and much pain.It took a long time for Mrs. S. and her daughter to get over the worst time of their lives.Since the attack, both are in psychological care, slowly learning to enjoy life again. Mother and daughter are caring for each other, stand together, comfort each other. Again and again during our conversation both need a short break: handkerchiefs for tears, a glass of water for their nerves.Ms. S. remembers the traumatic events of three years ago: “He only had gasping breath, I screamed like a banshee. For three weeks it was an eternal feeling of fear and hope. Then he died. He would never have woken up again, his brain was completely destroyed. He was brain dead. Actually, “Thank God, he didn’t notice, he didn’t suffer.”Another youth was prevented from further attacking: “As if one wasn’t enough,” said N. “It’s birthdays, Christmas and anniversaries, they hurt very, very much. Daddy is extremely absent,” says daughter N., as she bursts into tears. She wears a ring which connects her with her father, “He is looking at us”, Mrs. S. replies to her daughter.”When you kick someone in the stomach, you know that the person can’t breathe, no matter how strong and vigorous you are, you fall over.Otherwise, daddy would have been able to resist,” says N.Since the mosque is monitored by several cameras, the suspected perpetrators could be investigated three hours later. “You go out and a few hours later your life is completely different. It will never be the same again. Nobody can imagine that. Unfortunately, people today should be warned and told: “Please be quiet and don’t say anything, just try to avoid people.”For Ms. S., the fact that the young people appeared in a group is a sign of “what cowards they are”. “Going after little children, animals or elderly people is so rotten and incomprehensible.” She is sure that if the main perpetrator had been alone, it would never have happened. “The problem is they always travel in packs.”Both had insisted on not meeting the perpetrators in court. “Five years imprisonment for one human life, that’s ridiculous to me. “But even if he had gotten eight or ten years, my husband is dead. That’s a fact and doesn’t change anything. Life will punish this man.”The future will be difficult “but we are on a completely new path”, said daughter N. “The perpetrator was a special needs student, has learned nothing, but has practiced martial arts. And: “One must not practice any martial arts, except in (sports) combat!” Bitter detail: As the offender was also unemployed at the time of the incident, the family did not even receive compensation.For years Mrs S. had said to herself: “If I wasn’t that old, I’d move away from here.” The conditions around the Favorite District would have gotten worse and worse. “As a native, you were almost an exotic. I always said: I live in Little Anatolia! It’s really bad.” They immediately sold the family home in Favoriten. The pain was too much.Daughter N: “I was afraid of young men on the street when I was clearing out the apartment. This also happened to my husband. You just become very careful, you get respect”, says S. “The perpetrators lived only a few houses away from ours.Mrs. S. lived in Favoriten for many years, went to gymnastics there, visited the beautician. “That’s no longer possible. Never again Favorites, I swore to myself!”, that “I can’t”. Daughter N. now lives in the country: “I won’t set foot there again, I just can’t.”I wonder if they still think about the perpetrators and their motives. That’ s her answer. “I don’t want to think about them, they’re non-existent people. You’re not supposed to deal with that kind of stuff.” The daughter also says, “I don’t want to think about them. I’d rather think about daddy.” “We are people who say you have to look ahead. That’s our motto. That’s the way we live now.” Sometimes things get better, sometimes worse. N.: “Our life is relatively okay.” “Sure,” answers Mrs. S. and looks up as if the inner strength is coming from there.

The dispute escalated when the unknown man suddenly pulled out a knife and attacked the two of them. The older of the two victims was seriously injured by stitches in the groin area and on his arms and had to be taken to a clinic by ambulance. Fortunately, the 27-year-old was only slightly injured and could be released after being treated in a hospital.The perpetrator had fled from the train at Friedberg station, across the tracks towards the downtown area. Despite an immediately initiated manhunt in which a police helicopter of the Federal Police was also deployed, the perpetrator could not be caught yet. The fugitive perpetrator was described as an approximately 30-year-old, approximately 175 cm tall man with dark hair and presumably of Arab descent.

A minor traffic obstruction on Oberhausener Street in Mülheim on the river Ruhr last Saturday evening at around 7:30 p.m. caused a major police operation after several members of a Turkish family showed solidarity, harassed and attacked the police officers. This was preceded by a traffic obstruction caused by a vehicle parked in front of a courtyard entrance. Residents could not get past the vehicle and to their garages.

While a towing company was loading the car to move it on the road, suddenly two young men (22/16 years old) appeared and approached the officials with the words “Hey, what are you doing with the car? They stepped closer and closer to the police officers. They did not comply with the request to keep their distance. They did not comply with the order to stay away either, despite the threat to enforce it if necessary by use of force.

Instead, the young men attacked the police officers, provoked them and made threats. Other family members joined them, so the police officers called for reinforcements. A 43-year-old woman appeared, claiming to be the mother. She shouted at the officers several times and tried, sometimes violently, to reach her sons. The sons then attacked the officers almost simultaneously. The 16-year-old jumped into the back of an officer.He was then taken to the ground.There the man tried to kick the police officer and bite his arm. The 22-year-old tried to push the officer away. When he was grabbed he kicked the legs of the officer and tried to hurt him with targeted head butts. Both men had to be tied up. Meanwhile, the mother tried to stop them from being taken to the police station and to free the two sons.She was supported by a 46-year-old who attacked the officers and had to be brought to the ground and tied up. While the 16-year-old was allowed to leave the police station after the police measures were completed, the two older ones spent the night in custody. The three injured police officers remained on duty.

The trial about the sexual assault of a mentally handicapped woman on a park bench in Forchheim made the headlines almost seven months ago. Now the case has been reopened.At that time, the 3rd Criminal Division of the Bamberg Regional Court had sentenced the perpetrator to 22 months in prison, but at the same time had placed the 37-year-old Afghan in a psychiatric hospital. Now the proceedings had to be reopened due to an appeal at the Federal High Court.

Hadi W. (name amended) spent almost half a year in the closed section of the district hospital in Bayreuth. However, the sex offender has not started therapy – despite the clear verdict he still considers himself innocent. His public defender Jochen Kaller from Bamberg used the time to appeal to the Federal Court of Justice in Leipzig. The 6th Criminal Senate there had no doubt about W.’s guilt and also found the sentence to be appropriate.In April 2019, W. had grabbed a mentally handicapped woman on a park bench during a bicycle trip to the sports island Forchheim, pulled down her pants and underpants and wanted to force her to perform sexual acts. Only a stroller with his dog had driven W. away.Only in the case of placement in a district hospital did the presiding judge Günther Sander and his Federal Court of Justice colleagues have legal reservations. In their view, the prognosis of danger in particular was not sufficiently justified. However, the psychiatric expert Christoph Mattern from Bayreuth had very well found a brain-organic psychosyndrome.According to the expert, this could be explained by a blow to the head with a rifle butt by Taliban fighters, a serious motorcycle accident and smoke poisoning in an apartment fire. However, the Federal Court of Justice was unable to determine that Hadi W. could be expected to commit further serious crimes due to illness.The Criminal Division, which is responsible for appeals and revisions at the Bamberg Regional Court, took a similar view: it suspended the placement and sentenced him to a suspended sentence. At the end of the day, W. left the Palace of Justice a free man. “But you were not acquitted”, said presiding judge Marion Schmidt. Instead, he had to prove himself now.W. must remain exempt from punishment for three years, report every change of residence, visit the police once a month, find a legal guardian and cooperate with the probation officer – but then in Erfurt, where Hadi W. presumably wants to move to. His sister lives there.The fact that the prison sentence was suspended on probation had several reasons: Firstly, Hadi W. had no criminal record. For another, he had already spent 16 months behind bars. Furthermore, his victim allegedly does not suffer from permanent physical or psychological late effects.
