Overview

• The Audiencia de Girona sentenced Jens Schumacher to 30 years in prison for murder, violent robbery, and illegal weapons possession, following a unanimous jury verdict.
• Schumacher killed a 59-year-old German woman at point-blank range while she slept in her Empuriabrava home to steal her motorhome.
• The court labeled the killing as gratuitous, unnecessary, and the most vile form of violence, emphasizing that less lethal actions could have achieved his goal.
• In addition to the prison term, Schumacher faces 10 years of supervised release, a 500-meter restriction from the victim's family, and €240,000 in civil indemnities.
• The crime, committed in September 2022, ended with Schumacher's arrest in Portbou after fleeing with the stolen motorhome.
