Elena and the kitchen help Jandi have 3 common children. She lives according to his Muslim rules. But from about 2014 she will start to emancipate herself.

Of course, Jandi doesn't like it: because she wears too much make-up and violates Islamic rules, he will pour boiling water over his girlfriend on 15 April 2015. He hits a knife in her chest in front of her two-year-old son. Neighbours call the police.

In February 2016, the attempted murder trial before the Munich Court of Appeal begins. First, the perpetrator claims to be from Iraq. But he comes from Syria. Jandi confesses to the crime. He is sentenced to 6 years and 9 months imprisonment for inflicting serious bodily harm.

In the Bild newspaper she is called Elena. In the Süddeutsche newspaper she is called Johanna.
