In the trial of a murder in a sports car, the Munich District Court I sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment on Thursday. In addition, placement in an addiction clinic was ordered.
The court saw it as proven that the 24-year-old man shot a 25-year-old in his car in March 2020. He is said to have shot the man three times in the head so that he would not have to repay debts of 8,000 euros that he had with him. A passer-by had discovered the bloody body of the man in a sports car parked on the side of the road.
The court saw the homicidal trait of treachery, as court spokesman Florian Gliwitzky said – but not the trait of greed. The court also did not determine the particular gravity of the guilt.
The defendant had admitted the shots at the beginning of the trial. The man demanded more money from him than he owed him and put him under pressure and threatened him. On the evening of the crime, he wanted to impress the 25-year-old and got into his sports car with a gun. When the man made a move, he got scared and shot. “I deeply regret what I did,” said the 24-year-old.
In February he made headlines with a spectacular escape from his pre-trial detention in the Munich penal institution Stadelheim. He was hiding in a van but was arrested again the same day. A fellow prisoner who allegedly helped him escape has since been charged with the release of prisoners.
