Dalia T. born: 1983
killed: 17 August 2015
Residence: Trier
Origin: Syria / Kurds
Children: 3 (1-3 years)
Perpetrator: her husband Saoud (32 years)
In the summer of 2015 Dalia and her husband Saoud will come to Germany as refugees from Syria. His profession is referred to as a construction worker. They have their two three-year-old twins and a child with them. Elsewhere it is said that the children are 5, 4 and a half years old. The family is housed in a double room in Trier.
On 17 August 2015 Saoud murdered his wife with a chair leg in front of his children. The autopsy shows that her body has been injured as a result of previous maltreatment. The man has been arrested. He denies the deed.
In April 2016, the trial in the Trier court will begin. Witnesses testify that Saoud had already threatened his wife with death and was violent towards his children. Dalia's mother and her brother (who live in Istanbul) say that Saoud beat his boys "like you beat adults" (whatever that means). The children are now housed in a children's home.
In July 2016, the offender is sentenced to 13 years in prison. The sentence mentions that Dalia rebelled against the patriarchal behaviour of her husband, which he did not accept. The children live in foster homes.
