Process - Bochum garage murder: judges impose life imprisonment
After fatal shots were fired in an underground parking garage in Bochum, a 27-year-old man from Dortmund was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder on Friday. According to the verdict of the Bochum jury court, the man shot a 58-year-old man in his car on March 7 of this year. The crime was triggered by a road traffic dispute. Judge Nils Feldhaus called the Turkish defendant a "dangerous psychopath" in his verdict. The crime was an "ice-cold execution".
In addition to the sentence of life imprisonment, the judges also determined the particular gravity of the guilt and ordered indefinite preventive detention - for the protection of the general public.
The later victim was killed by six shots to the head. The 27-year-old had confessed to the crime during the trial, but explained that he had been insulted and had lost control. However, the judges saw things differently. A 29-year-old co-defendant from Witten was sentenced to one and a half years' probation. According to the verdict, he had helped the main defendant to escape.
The verdict is not yet final.
