Herne: Lifelong imprisonment for murderers of Jaden (9) and Christopher (22)
Judgment in the double murder trial of Herne: Marcel H. has to life in jail //t.co/GPh4LV5t3Y
? Rheinische Post (@rponline) January 31, 2018Marcel H., the double murderer of Herne, must be in prison for life. That decided on Wednesday the district court Bochum. The board also noted the particular severity of the blame and reserved for a future preventive detention. That H. will ever be released is highly unlikely.
The 20-year-old had confessed to stabbed the little Jaden and a former school friend brutally stabbed in March last year. Marcel H. had lured the nine-year-old neighbor's boy into a cellar under a pretext. The act triggered nationwide horror: H. stabbed 52 times on the defenseless neighbor boy. He had only followed him out of helpfulness? H. had asked him to hold a ladder.
MarcelH. posted photos of the deeds on the Internet
After the fact Marcel H. sought refuge with a friend? and murdered him, too. Christopher W. (22) fiercely defended himself, as legal medicine later reconstructed. But against his murderer, the young man had no chance. After H. blackmailed the seriously injured, giving him the password for mobile and Internet, he strangled his former schoolmate with the belt of a bathrobe.
Stunned by the deeds were pictures of the horribly arranged corpses, which H. evidently had put on the internet. After a three-day escape, H. turned in March in a Greek snack the police. In the process, the 22-year-old did not comment on the allegations? He did not react to the sometimes very emotional statements of witnesses and relatives.
Therefore, the participants could only speculate about the motive of the 19-year-old. Assumption of the prosecutor: "Satisfaction of one's own sadism and showing off." Can Marcel H. now live in jail? his whole life.
