Attack after Grenade Throwing on Cemetery: Another Man in Stuttgart Convicted
Already in April, the Land Court sentenced five similarly involved men in the attack on the hand grenade launcher to prison terms of up to nearly five years. The man who launched the hand grenade, which partially injured 15 people upon explosion, was sentenced to twelve years in prison in another trial for attempted murder among other charges.
The hand grenade attack on a mourning community at a cemetery in Altbach is part of a series of attacks related to a gang war between two rival groups in the Stuttgart area. Multiple shootings have also occurred in the vicinity of locales. According to investigators, both groups are involved in criminal activities.
The security authorities reacted with large-scale investigative and control measures to the escalating gang violence. According to a June report published by the Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Office in Stuttgart, over 60 suspects have already been arrested and numerous weapons seized. In this complex, there have already been several indictments and trials.
- The District Court Stuttgart is set to hear the case of another man accused of involvement in the Band War, specifically for throwing a pomegranate as a substitute grenade during an attack.
- Witnesses at the Cemetery in Stuttgart reported seeing the suspect, a man, throwing the pomegranate, which caused bodily harm to several bystanders.
- If convicted, the man could face charges of attempted bodily harm, given the seriousness of the pomegranate throw incident during the escalating gang war.
- Meanwhile, the city of Stuttgart continues to grapple with the consequences of the ongoing Band War, with residents expressing concern over their safety and security.
- The Stuttgart Cemetery has become a symbol of the violence, with the pomegranate throw incident becoming a chilling reminder of the dangers associated with the gang war.
- As the authorities work to bring those responsible to justice, they urge the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or threats, further ensuring the safety of the people of Stuttgart.
