Overview
- The Große Jugendkammer convicted both defendants of joint murder for luring an 18-year-old to Hamburg’s Stadtpark on April 16, 2025.
- Judges found the victim was plied with alcohol and then stabbed more than 100 times, with the body discovered near the park paddling pool by passersby the next day.
- The older defendant received 12 years, exceeding the usual juvenile maximum after the court recognized treachery and murderous lust and found particular severity of guilt.
- The younger defendant was sentenced to nine years and six months under juvenile law.
- The verdicts are not yet final, and proceedings, including the verdict announcement, were closed to protect the young offenders’ medical and personal privacy.
