German judges have a lot of sympathy for a Turk who killed a woman with 76 knife wounds: “She had violated his honour”

Alim K. (24) ambushed his pregnant ex-girlfriend with a knife.

Then the student stabbed her 76 times, killing Juvy-Ann (22) and their unborn child.

But for judge Thomas Kelm this crime was not murder, but only manslaughter. Yesterday, the killer was sentenced to ten years in prison by the Regional Court of Dortmund ( North Rhine-Westphalia), but he could apply for parole after two thirds of the sentence.

The victim’s parents were stunned by the lenient sentence. The mother broke down crying in the courtroom.

Father Hans Joachim F. told the newspaper BILD in tears: “A bank robber gets the same sentence. And here a man slaughters my daughter and maybe gets out of prison before he is thirty. How can that be?”

The judge’s reasoning: Alim K. had acted in the heat of the moment and was not in control. Heat of passion? As a reminder: Alim K. stabbed a total of 76 times.

Judge Kelm explains: “The victim insulted him before the crime, that is a violation of his honour. Only then did he go berserk and pull out the knife he had brought with him.”

And: “She opposed him, did not put up with everything in the relationship. Finally: “It was also a crime against himself. Because he wanted the child.”

Damn much understanding for a brutal killer.
