Murder of ex in shop: 8.5 years in prison

landau - A young migrant has been sentenced to 8.5 years in Germany for the murder of his ex-girlfriend. Abdul D. deposited fifteen-year-old Mia at a store in Kandel (Rhineland-Palatinate) at the end of last year. She died from her injuries.

D. wanted to punish the victim because she had formed the relationship, concluded the Public Prosecution Service. The murder case led to much fuss in Germany. Protesters took to the streets to demonstrate against the asylum policy of the government.

The perpetrator, who probably comes from Afghanistan, came to Germany as an unaccompanied minor asylum seeker. The boy was also tried as a minor, although it was questioned whether he was really as young as he claimed. This led to a discussion about how the age of asylum seekers is determined.
