Lifelong imprisonment for cruel murder of Jessica S. in Leipzig!

Paunsdorf, Deutschland - On Friday, Marcus K., a 41-year-old from Leipzig, was sentenced to a lifelong prison for murder to Jessica S.. The tragic crime occurred on May 21, 2024 in her shared apartment in Paunsdorf. Jessica S., 30 years old and mother of two children, was brutally killed with a knife stab in the vein of her right side of your neck. The presiding judge Antje Schiller made it clear in her reasoning that there was no self-defense or affect situation, but that Marcus K. acted planned and acted for low motives. He had denied the right and defenseless Jessica S.

Jessica S. had separated only four weeks before Marcus K.'s murder. Your violent offender, who had abused the trust between them, should now be held accountable for his actions. Although the public prosecutor had applied for lifelong in prison, the defense advocated just five years for manslaughter. However, the court followed the argument of the indictment and confirmed the murder system, which brings with it a continuation of the legal examination, since the judgment is not yet final and a revision procedure is possible.

legal background

The case is reminiscent of the legal foundations and considerations related to killing offenses. According to § 212 I StGB, those who kill a person with knowledge and want to kill. In this case, the murder characteristics "Himmoing" is addressed, since Jessica S.'s arouslessness was deliberately exploited by Marcus K.'s actions. This is reinforced by the family conditions between the two participants, which implies a breach of trust.

Legal consideration shows that there was no self -defense situation, since the attack was not imminent and therefore the self -defense paragraph does not apply. There was also no emergency action because there was no other way to avert the danger. Marcus K. did not act in a state of an apologetic emergency that could be available in accordance with Section 35 I of the Criminal Code.

The court found that for Marcus K. the crime was illegal and that the existing circumstances required comprehensive legal evaluation. In particular, it was emphasized that life against life is not fusable, which means that the killing of Jessica S. could not represent a justified action.
