German Court Orders Afghan Who Killed Toddler in Knife Attack Into Care
The officer received a five-month sentence, commuted to probation and a €3,000 donation, after failing to investigate a knife assault that preceded a deadly attack.
- Earlier this month, a Bavarian court convicted the 29-year-old police officer of obstruction of justice and sentenced him to 5 months in prison, commuted to three years' probation plus a €3,000 donation.
- Months later, in Aschaffenburg's Schöntal Park, the accused attacker killed a 2-year-old and a 41-year-old, wounding three others, after the officer failed to investigate his August 2024 knife attack on his girlfriend.
- Evidence presented at trial indicated Prosecutor Christoph Gillot argued the defendant `knew` the case involved a dangerous knife assault, and the trial heard poor communication among four officers involved.
- Judge Torsten Kemmerer criticised the officer for 'carelessness' and 'laziness', saying `He simply did nothing, nothing at all`, while defense lawyers appealed for acquittal citing unclear knowledge of the Ukrainian woman's injuries.
- The case has broader political resonance because it featured in the run-up to Germany's February national elections, and a verdict in the attacker's trial is anticipated this Thursday, October 30.
