Serbian Edmir R. * (67) has to go to prison for murder for 6.5 years. After sitting down, he has to leave Switzerland and return to his old home, where he still has a house. That’s what the St. Gallen District Court decided this afternoon. He will have to leave his five children, almost all of whom have already started their own families, in Switzerland.
The Serb brutally killed his wife Vlora * († 60) in St. Gallen on Ruhsitzstrasse on Good Friday last year. After 40 years of marriage.
Stranger: According to the St. Gallen prosecutor’s charges, a shoehorn was used as a weapon! The Serb hits his wife on the head approximately 20 to 30 times. And with the shoehorn, measuring 56.5 centimeters long and weighing 300 grams, an ultimately fatal traumatic brain injury is inflicted.
Insults accepted for years, until it exploded
“I’m very sorry, I lost control,” the defendant said in court. “I apologize to my children and my wife’s family.”
Edmir R. became scared after his wife threw a bag of dirty clothes at him and insulted him saying he was a “dirty person”. He also called him “gay” and “stupid”. And minutes before he threw the freshly washed dishes back into the sink because he had touched them “with dirty hands.” Then Edmir R. lost control and picked up the metal shoehorn from the hallway by the apartment door.
Since the last daughter had moved in two and a half years earlier, the Serb had to endure such insults and unwarranted accusations of cheating on a daily basis. Every day. All five judges saw the abuse as proven. The Serb always took this humiliation in stride in the hope that his wife would calm down again, until he finally exploded.
Judge: “The violence of the act is incomprehensible”
The judge said in the verdict: “The court took it for granted that the accused was insulted and humiliated by his wife for a long time. A violent and excusable emotion arose. “However: The victim had to suffer beatings and the act was” very brutal “and” not entirely understandable in its violence. “
However, the children explicitly refrained from appearing as private prosecutors against their father in the process. “You are totally after your father because you knew how terrified his mother had terrified him,” defense attorney Theodor Seitz tells VIEW after the trial. You disagree with the phrase: You will recommend your customer to move on to the next instance.
“The court did not consider the reasons for mitigating and reducing sentences,” says Seitz. He acknowledged that the perpetrator acted with affection and therefore did not classify the homicide as murder. The defense attorney said: “The penalty is too high.” However, your client could accept expulsion from the country: he hopes to receive visits from his children during the holidays. His client is not afraid of blood revenge, as Seitz emphasizes. “Even if the possibility always exists in this culture.”
