Honour killing story 2016: Amir

Amir
born: 1986
stung: 22/23 June 2016
Location: Römerberg / Speyer
Origin: Afghanistan
Children: probably yes
Perpetrator: Farid (23 years)

Amir lives in Römerberg, Farid lives in Speyer. Both are asylum seekers from Afghanistan.

Amir lives apart from his wife and is with Farid's sister. Her brother does not accept that. That's why Farid stabs him in his neck twice. The body was found by walkers on 23 June 2016 in the Rhine meadows between Speyer and Ottostadt. A few days later, the perpetrator was arrested.

The trial before the Frankenthal court starts in November. The Public Prosecutor's Office speaks of a totally exaggerated sense of honour. In December, the perpetrator is sentenced to nine and a half years imprisonment for manslaughter.

The exact names of those involved are not known. We are happy with tips!
