Bloodthirsty machinations: brothers from Pforzheim charged with murder enforcement!

Two brothers from Pforzheim have to answer for the encouragement of their 17-year-old niece before the district court of Karlsruhe. According to the public prosecutor, the fatal motif was created when the accused, 37 and 44 years old, discovered pornographic videos of her niece in August last year. The accusation is that the brothers had put pressure on the family and demanded that the niece had to be "killed" in order to restore the "family theory". In frightening phone calls, they would also have threatened the young woman's mother and sister. The oldest brother is said to have said: "If that were my daughter, I would kill her."

The younger brother who denied the allegations stated that his lawyer was only concerned with the niece because he thought she was raped. The brothers, members of the Yazidi minority from Iraq, fled to Germany in 2007 and 2009 before IS. The process has three days of negotiations. On November 12th, several witnesses appear, including the 19-year-old victim, whose statement is uncertain. The situation is tense and is followed closely because the threats of the brothers have brought the family in great danger. Further information is in the report of www.swr.de to be found.
