Some of their five common children, five months to nine years old, will probably remember the bloody deed of their father for the rest of their lives: In front of them, Badar M. (36) allegedly killed their mother by stabbing his wife Natra K. (33) with eleven stabs with a knife!
On Monday, the trial against the Afghan began at the Zwickau Regional Court. He is accused of premeditated murder. Prosecutor Barbara Gremm (57): “The defendant is accused of insidiously killing a person for base motives.”
Natra K. had already separated from her husband in September 2022 “because of repeated violence, also of a sexual nature”. Afterwards, she and the five children had first been accommodated in a women’s shelter and finally at the non-profit association FAB (Association for the Promotion of Training, Employment, Counselling and Care for Young People and Adults) in Crimmitschau.
However, the father had been granted the right to visit the children. On February 11, he went to the sports hall of the association to have contact with the children. At first, an accompanying person was said to have been present. When the person was gone for a short time, the Afghan suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed his wife. The first stab was already fatal.
The prosecutor: “Since he believed that she was his property and had no right to live independently, he did not want to accept the separation and punish her for her desire to live independently.”
The children screamed, their father fled, but was arrested by the police the same day. At the start of the trial, according to his defence lawyer, he was supposed to remain silent, but said (and the interpreter translated), “A lot of what I am accused of here, I guess I can’t accept it. I have many questions.”
He will not be allowed to ask these questions until next Monday at the earliest. The first witnesses are to be heard then. A total of eight more days of trial are scheduled, with the verdict expected on October 19. The accused faces a life sentence.
