Fatal attack: Life sentence for car ramming attack on demonstration in Munich
The 25-year-old had driven from behind into peaceful demonstrators. One woman and her little daughter died, many were injured, some with life-threatening injuries. Now the verdict has been handed down.
In a deadly attack, a suspect was convicted of a life sentence for an auto-attack during a demonstration in Munich. The 25-year-old Afghan man drove his car into the crowd, causing catastrophic injuries to several victims. The judge, Michael Höhne, emphasized the religious and political motivations behind the attack, stating that the accused aimed to kill as many people as possible in retaliation for the situation of Muslims in Islamic countries.
The victims, including two-year-old Hafsa and her mother Amel, were struck ten meters into the air and suffered fatal injuries. The attacker was found guilty of two counts of murder, 23 attempted murders, and 22 cases of grievous bodily harm. The verdict is still not final, but the prosecution and defense both called for life imprisonment and psychiatric confinement.
