Inconceivable crime due to violated honour: On their journey heading south from Denmark, Syrian Samer M. (36) once again got into a violent argument with his wife. The mother of two (32) wanted to separate. Suddenly, the migrant stopped his silver Suzuki on the hard shoulder of the A7 motorway near Hamburg, pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed the woman as if in a bloodlust. According to the autopsy, he stabbed her at least 24 times in the head, neck and upper body.
The victim, covered in blood, fled from the front passenger seat to the back seat, made it out of the car and ran away in agony. Unimaginable: Samer M. pursued his wife, literally driving her into the flow of traffic on the motorway, according to the Flensburg public prosecutor’s office.
A lorry driver was unable to brake in time and hit the mother of two head-on. The 32-year-old died at the scene of the accident. According to the public prosecutor, the Syrian wanted to “restore his honour”, as the victim wanted to separate from him and custody of their children had already been taken from him. Even before the fatal confrontation, Samer M. had allegedly physically attacked his wife several times.
The defence pleaded dangerous bodily harm and diminished culpability because the migrant had been on drugs and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to his flight from Syria.
However, the court ruled against him. It convicted the Syrian of attempted murder. Attempted murder, because it could not be proven that he had premeditated the entire offence. But: The criminal division imposed the highest possible sentence. It sentenced Samer M. to life imprisonment.
