About eight years after the death of a Yazidi girl from thirst, an Islamist extremist in Munich has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for crimes against humanity. The Higher Regional Court (OLG) in Munich on Tuesday charged Jennifer W. with slavery resulting in death, accusing her of acting in contempt for humanity.
The woman, from the town of Lohne in the German state of Lower Saxony, previously confessed that in the summer of 2015 she had seen a girl die who had been enslaved by Jennifer W. and her then-husband in her home in Iraq. The man had previously chained the child up in the blazing midday sun to punish her for wetting the girl’s bed earlier.
Previously judged by the judiciary as a minor matter
The 9th Criminal Senate made the decision in the new trial after the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) reversed an earlier Higher Regional Court verdict in the course of an appeal against a new decision on the sentence. Unlike the 8th Criminal Senate in the earlier decision of October 2021, the court no longer assumed that the case was less serious.
W. held a gun to the dead girl’s mother’s head
The Senate criticized, among other things, the behavior of the now 32-year-old woman after the death of the child. She held a gun to her mother’s head to force her to stop crying after her daughter’s death. In court, W. justified this action by saying it was “emotionally ticked off”. The Senate also assessed the serious psychological consequences that the girl’s mother still suffers today as an aggravating punishment.
