In the apartment lies the body of his ex-wife. She was stabbed 14 times. Then Ahmed had smashed her skull with a hammer.
Iris and Ahmed lived separately and saw each other about once a month, according to neighbors. Iris had a new partner who was in the apartment at the time of the crime.
In June 2011, Ahmed was sentenced by the district court of Mönchengladbach to nine years and six months in prison for manslaughter. An expert declares him alcoholic and diminished responsibility.
