Ozan (or Adnan) works as a car salesman, his deaf wife takes care of their three common children. They all have German nationality.
When the daughters were in kindergarten on September 10, 2010, Ozan beat his wife to the ground with a chair. He then stabs her 16 times with a kitchen knife. He then calls the police, confesses to the crime and allows himself to be arrested without resistance. The three children were taken to relatives. The arrest warrant is first for manslaughter, later for murder.
In April 2011, the trial begins. Extra security measures have been taken because of previous threats. Ozan is sentenced to eight years in prison for manslaughter in the heat of the moment.
The victim's family appeals. In August 2012, the Federal Court of Justice rules that the case must be re-tried. The court must examine whether a murder conviction is possible. In October, the sentence is increased to 10 years in prison for treasonous murder in a state of affection. The real name of the victim has not been released.
