A 57-year-old beats his daughter-in-law like he’s out of his mind. The woman survives, the unborn child dies – and the family cares “zero”. In the verdict, the judge finds clear words and sends the man to prison for ten years.
Would there have been no other way to resolve the conflicts within the family? No other solution than to almost kill the pregnant daughter-in-law with over 45 hammer blows to the head and body? “You can’t really understand why,” said Elisabeth Ehrl, chairwoman of the first jury chamber at the Munich I regional court. She sentenced Mohammad Y. to ten years in prison for attempted murder, grievous bodily harm and attempted abortion.
