During a traffic control in the district of Germersheim (Rhineland-Palatinate), the police find one dead at night on 8 February 2020. She has gunshot wounds and is lying on the co-driver's seat, the driver is carrying a firearm. He is the ex-boyfriend of the dead woman and is arrested.
Later it appears that Astrit comes from Kosovo and has a criminal record for assault and robbery. He was deported several times, but always came back secretly. Fitore and the two children of elementary school age had a residence permit. She was probably shot just before the police check.
In July 2020 the trial will start at the regional court of Landau. The public prosecutor considers honor as the motive. Witnesses state that Astrit was a control freak. In addition, he probably mentioned honour motives in his testimony to the magistrate.
In September, the perpetrator is sentenced to life imprisonment.
