Aschaffenburg (dpa) - Again and again a father raises his hand against his teenage daughter, chastises her.
The attacks are on record and the man is even sentenced to imprisonment.
But the now 46-year-old will not take part.
Rather, he is said to have been so angry about the lifestyle of the 16-year-olds shortly after the verdict that he is said to have killed the girl in May 2017 and buried it in a forest near Aschaffenburg in Bavaria.
Almost four years after the crime, the Syrian has had to answer for murder at the Aschaffenburg district court since Thursday, among other things.
The accused is also accused of attempted murder of his daughter's older friend.
About a month after the youngsters disappeared, the then 23-year-old is said to have been attacked by the suspect with a knife at the raft harbor in Aschaffenburg and seriously injured in the neck.

The defendant's family comes from Syria and fled to Germany before the long war there.
The girl is said to have settled in quickly.
According to the indictment, the man allegedly killed his daughter in early May 2017 in order to punish her for the way she lived and to restore his supposed honor.
The body was only found by walkers in December 2018.
According to investigators, it is still unclear whether the defendant acted alone or, for example, someone helped to remove the student's body.
The 46-year-old was already known to the police before the crimes were charged.
He was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment for assaulting and threatening his daughter in 2016, but never ran.
After the attack on the 23-year-old, he disappeared.
After an international search, the man was arrested and extradited in Turkey last year.
