In the process of the deadly knife attack on a mother and her one-year-old daughter at the Hamburg S-Bahn station Jungfernstieg, the prosecutor's office has demanded a life sentence for the accused. It should also note the particular gravity of the guilt, said the prosecutor in the Hamburg district court.
The 34-year-old Mourtala M. had committed a double murder for low motives and insidious to punish the mother of his child. If a life imprisonment is imposed and the particular severity of the guilt is established, a premature release is legally possible after 15 years, but practically impossible in practice.
