Processes - Dangerous strike against ex-girlfriend - five years youth sentence

For the death of a 17-year-old after being stabbed in Kiel, a 20-year-old man has been sentenced to five years youth detention by the court. The chamber found the 19-year-old defendant guilty of bodily harm resulting in death in conjunction with robbery resulting in death, bodily harm, coercion, and driving without a license. The sentence was significantly lower than the eight-year youth detention order sought by the prosecution. The court did not find intent.

The 20-year-old German stood before the Regional Court since May 2023 due to the death of the young woman in October 2023. In the trial, he admitted to the crime. His ex-girlfriend had been maintaining a close relationship with an earlier boyfriend, which had hurt him. The 17-year-old and he had agreed to a relationship break. On the day of the incident, they had met each other at the main train station. They had driven together in the car of another acquaintance to his mother's house to talk. An argument ensued. The 20-year-old admitted to shooting the 17-year-old and the former boyfriend in the apartment with a revolver.

The situation had moved to the street, where the fourth accomplice had been waiting in his car. The defendant had taken the car keys from the man and forced the 17-year-old to leave with him. He had wanted to talk to her calmly. During the ride, he had held a knife in his hand. He had given her a blow because she screamed. When he realized he had stabbed his girlfriend with the knife, he had wanted to take her to the hospital. However, the defendant had caused a serious accident in the process.

1. The crime took place in the city of Kiel, specifically in Schleswig-Holstein.
2. During the trial at the Regional Court, the Public Prosecutor's Office argued for an eight-year youth detention order due to the severe nature of the crime.
3. The accused's girlfriend, who was involved in a close relationship with an earlier boyfriend, was the victim of bodily harm which had upset the 20-year-old man.
4. The accident occurred during the attempted transportation of the girl to the hospital, following the cutting stroke she had sustained.
5. The term 'Tod' was not explicitly used in the text, but it can be inferred from the context as the consequence of the 17-year-old's stabbing.
