Trier/Merzig – The secret meeting with her lover ended fatally for the woman who fled the war at home. Now the Ukrainian Yosyp H. (35) has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his compatriot and lover († 38).
The deed took place on March 26, 2022 in one Hotel in Trier successful, since the end of the year Yosyp H. had to answer for murder before the regional court there.
Shortly before her death, the victim fled with her husband and daughter (13) from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The family found accommodation in Merzig.
The woman had known Yosyp H., who lived near Neuwied, for several years, and according to judge Petra Schmitz in the verdict, the two had “had a free relationship limited to sexual exchange for a long time”.
On the day of his death, the woman had told her husband that she wanted to meet a friend and had taken the train to the secret meeting of the hotel in Trier. When she typed messages on her cell phone after sex, her lover became jealous.

Judge Schmitz: “He suspected she was talking to other men. She saw it as a betrayal.
According to the criminal court conviction, the man turned on the shower so that the 38-year-old thought he was in the bathroom. He then sneaked up behind her to the woman lying on her stomach on her bed, strangled her and wrapped a sheet around her neck “to make sure she was dead too”.
