Murder 2018 in Vienna-Brigittenau. Supreme Court confirmed guilty verdict in advance
The student Jennifer Scharinger had been murdered in 2018. In August, the defendant was sentenced to a life sentence. Now this is surprisingly mitigated. That was decided by the Higher Regional Court of Vienna.
Mairon K. was initially sentenced to life imprisonment. Vienna's Higher Regional Court reduced the sentence to 20 years.
At the end of August, Clemens T. imposed the highest sentence for the murder of 21-year-old Jenni Scharinger. Eight years ago, the Lower Austrian strangled the young woman – she wanted to separate. The 33-year-old now fights for a lower sentence in the Oberlandesgericht. With success.
On Tuesday, the Higher Regional Court of Vienna reduced the life sentence for the ex-boyfriend of the killed to 20 years. Decisive for the milder sentence were several mitigating reasons – above all his late confession, which only led to the discovery of the body.
On Tuesday morning, the appeal for the murder of Jennifer Scharinger ended in the Palace of Justice. For the 33-year-old defendant, the decision reduces the sentence from life imprisonment to 20 years.
