Eight years in prison for Iranians: homicide sentenced to Syrer in Burg!

During the verdict, the presiding judge Dietlinde Storch said that the court classified the crime as a homicide because the murder feature of the "hedgee" was not fulfilled. Despite the brutal execution of the crime, the accused was able to mitigate that he was not a criminal record and showed remorse. In April the accused had already confessed in which he stated that he wanted to scare the victim after he had cheated by around 15,000 euros.

legal consequences and co -accused

Originally, four other men were as co -accused in the procedure, but their procedures were hired on June 18 because they were classified as a fellow runner and could not be transferred to the community homicide. Although these men were guilty of assault and coercion, these men were guilty, but are not a criminal record themselves. It is interesting that the co -accused did not compensate for their 170 days in custody.

The judgment has not yet been final. Both the public prosecutor and the defense have a week to make revision. The public prosecutor had asked for a higher punishment when the judgment was pronounced, while the defense advocated two years of probation. The accused himself apologized to the victim's family at the end of his speech and offered a check for 5,000 euros - an offer that was rejected by a brother of the victim.

violent crime in Germany

The terrifying events throw a light on the subject of violent crime in Germany. Although these crimes make up less than 4% of all police crimes, they significantly influence the security feeling of the citizens. Around 217,000 violent crimes were registered in 2024, the highest number since 2007. This means that society is currently faced with a feeling of threats that goes beyond theft and fraud.

The increase among young violent actors is particularly striking: around a third of the suspects are under 21 years old. The Federal Criminal Police Office attributes the increase in violence to various factors, including economic uncertainties and social burdens, which affect those seeking protection in particular. The psychological consequences of corona pandemic are also likely to play a role.

The acts of violence against emergency services represent another alarming segment. Around 2,740 acts of violence against these helpers were recorded in 2023, which led to a high. The social consensus is clear: 94% of Germans see violence against people in critical professions, such as politicians, police officers and emergency services, as a big problem.

These conditions make it clear that the challenges in the area of ​​violent crime are far -reaching and urgently need a profound social dispute.

For those affected in Burg, the tragedy about the loss of a life and the effects on the affected community remains unforgettable. With its decision, the court made a judgment that may also be understood as a signal against violence and injustice.
