MANNHEIM: Urteil nach Mord an Polizisten Rouven Laur! So nahm es der Angeklagte auf

MANNHEIM: Verdict after the murder of police officer Rouven Laur! This is how the defendant received it The attack lasted only a few minutes, but Sulaiman A. destroyed numerous lives with his act in May 2024: He killed 29-year-old police officer Rouven Laur and injured five people, some seriously – thereby causing immeasurable suffering to their families. After the fatal knife attack on Mannheim's market square, the defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. The Stuttgart Higher Regional Court also found the 26-year-old Afghan man guilty of particularly serious crimes. This practically rules out early release after 15 years. A. was also convicted of four counts of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. The verdict is not yet final. Defendant calmly received the verdict A., wearing a white shirt and jacket, with a long beard and short hair, calmly received the verdict. During the three-hour reasoning behind the verdict, he looked down at his small table or at the judge. In his final remarks the day before the verdict, he apologized to the victims of the attack and their families. Rouven Laur's parents and one of his two sisters, Eve Laur, also initially listened to the judge's presentation without any outward reaction. His mother, Petra Laur, and her husband, Ralf Laur, held hands. After almost two hours of explanations for the verdict, the father left the room. Towards the end, the mother began to cry. According to the presiding judge, A. injured six people with a knife in the attack on Mannheim's market square on May 31, 2024: five participants in a rally organized by the anti-Islam citizens' movement Pax Europa (BPE) and police officer Rouven Laur. The officer died of his injuries two days later. The then 25-year-old attacker was shot dead by another police officer. #weltnetzreporter #germany #mannheim #policeofficer Subscribe to the WELT Netzreporter Channel    / dienetzreporter   WELT News Channel Channel    / weltvideotv   WELT DOKU Channel    / weltdoku   WELT Podcast Channel    / weltpodcast   The WELT News Livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT News Channel on Instagram https://bit.ly/IGWELTTV WELT on Instagram http://bit.ly/2X1M7Hk On a personal note: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to accept any more comments.
