After last summer a mother of two died tragically in Bremen, her husband now has to answer in court. The public prosecutor accuses him of manslaughter. The young woman had been sitting on the hood of his car and had fallen from the moving car.
After an argument, she tried to stop her husband from driving away, the prosecutor said. But the man accelerated and drove about 50 meters “at high speed” until the woman slipped off the hood and hit her head.

“I never intended to kill my wife. We have two children together,” the defendant from Pakistan explained through his lawyer. “I just wanted out of the situation.” He confirmed that there had been an argument beforehand. It was about a smartphone that his wife wanted to use, but that belonged to him. He threw the phone out the window.
