Nach einem tödlichen Sturz einer 91-Jährigen in Berlin ist deren Sohn wegen Körperverletzung mit Todesfolge zu zwei Jahren Haft auf Bewährung verurteilt worden. Das Landgericht der Hauptstadt sah als erwiesen an, dass er seine Mutter geschubst hatte.

Overview

  • The Landgericht Kaiserslautern sentenced a 19-year-old to nine years and six months in youth detention for manslaughter, insult and threats.
  • Judges found he entered the property in Unkenbach despite a court ban, then kicked, beat and stabbed the 55-year-old mother of his ex-partner, who died at the scene.
  • The Kaiserslautern judgment is final and includes a €10,000 bereavement payment to the victim’s daughter as a co-claimant.
  • In Berlin, the Landgericht convicted a 64-year-old of bodily injury causing death and imposed a two-year prison term suspended on probation.
  • According to the case record, he pushed his 91-year-old mother in her Lichtenberg apartment in March, causing a pelvic fracture; she died about two weeks later after surgery.
