Father Sentenced to Five Years for Stabbing Son in Allowance Dispute

A heated argument over allowance in Ingelfingen led to a violent incident, resulting in a court ruling of attempted manslaughter.

The Landgericht Heilbronn sentenced a 50-year-old father to five years in prison for attempted manslaughter and dangerous bodily harm.
The incident occurred in February when a domestic argument over allowance escalated into violence.
The father stabbed his 18-year-old son in the upper body, injuring his spleen, but the court found no immediate threat to the son's life.
The prosecution argued that the father acted with intent to kill, but the court did not agree with this assessment.
The verdict is not yet legally binding, as it remains open to appeal.
