CondannatoSommario
A 30-year-old woman was stabbed to death outside her home in Bremen in October 2025 by her former partner, the father of one of her children. Masked, he lay in wait for her, having waited about three hours in a car until she left the building with two of her three children to go to a playground. He approached her from behind and stabbed her eight times, wounding her in the head, neck and upper body. She died at the scene. Immediately after the attack he pushed one of the children to the ground as the child tried to flee and stabbed the child in the back. The child was injured and survived. On 30 September 2026 the Landgericht Bremen convicted the man, then 33, of murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment. The court additionally established the particular gravity of guilt, which largely rules out early release after fifteen years. It convicted him of causing bodily harm in respect of the attack on the child. The presiding judge described the killing as a kind of execution, and the court found that he had acted with treachery and from base motives. According to the court there had been custody disputes over the couple's two-year-old daughter after their separation, and in carrying out the attack he was concerned not with the child's welfare but with asserting his authority as a man and a father. The verdict followed the prosecution's submissions; the defence had argued for acquittal.
