Frankfurt Regional Court - Teenager murders woman: Juvenile sentence of over nine years
Due to the murder of a woman, an 18-year-old was sentenced to a juvenile detention term of nine years and eight months by the Frankfurt Regional Court. "It was an extremely brutal act," said the responsible prosecutor after the verdict was read out. The then 17-year-old had choked the 28-year-old woman with one hand and filmed the crime with the other. The videos were shown during the trial. He had met the woman briefly before the crime at a bar in the fall of the previous year. During later sex, she reportedly laughed at him due to his erection problems. The judgment of the Youth Chamber reserves a later secure detention of the murderer.
The crime took place in Frankfurt am Main, which is located in the German state of Hesse. The 18-year-old was tried at the Frankfurt Regional Court for the murder. Despite the juvenile sentence, the Woman's Chamber of the court reserved the possibility of a later secure detention for the offender. The incident received widespread attention in local news, as the defendant had filmed the brutal murder with his phone.
