The Munich court has sentenced a man to one year in prison who called the police officers murdered in Kusel, Rhineland-Palatinate “bastards” and wished their colleagues in Munich the same fate. According to his lawyer, the convict had a blood alcohol level of 2.5 at the time of the crime in early February.
The 35-year-old, who has a criminal record, apologized on Thursday and blamed the verbal blunder on his problematic alcohol use.
The man was convicted without parole, among other things, for rewarding and condoning crimes and denigrating the memory of the deceased. The attorney general’s office had demanded a year and four months probation and the defense a year’s probation.
In late January, a 24-year-old police officer and a 29-year-old police commissioner were shot dead during a nighttime vehicle check. The trial of a 39-year-old who allegedly shot the two officers to cover up poaching, according to investigators, is currently underway at the Kaiserslautern District Court. A 33-year-old accomplice is charged with attempted evasion. He would have helped to cover up the tracks.
