In the trial of a 49-year-old man who allegedly killed his wife with at least 30 knife wounds in Bad Arolsen in northern Hesse, the verdict is expected on Wednesday (1.30 p.m.)
The man has to stand trial for murder at the Kassel Regional Court.
The prosecution accuses him of having acted out of base motives. The Iraqi is said to have lived strictly according to Muslim principles.
According to the prosecution, his 32-year-old wife, on the other hand, lived a modern lifestyle and wanted to separate. He had taken this as an affront to his honour. Even before the crime, the accused had threatened to kill his wife several times.
On July 19 last year, he allegedly committed the crime in their shared flat in the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg.
According to the public prosecutor’s office, he stabbed the victim at least 30 times with a knife – in front of their five children aged between one and eleven.
At the beginning of the trial, the accused testified that there had been an argument between him and his wife. He could not remember anything about the crime itself.
