Milad is a Christian from Iraq. He works as a hairdresser in Salzgitter and is together with a Syrian woman who is Muslim.Her family doesn't like it because she is "promised" to a cousin. There are several lawsuits pending, which are not yet closed. Among other things, there are death threats. The clan has gradually moved to Germany as of 2013.
On January 26, 2019, the Syrian brother shoots his sister's friend next to a parking lot in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt. Paramedics take the seriously injured man to the hospital, where he dies. The perpetrator is arrested.
The sister goes into hiding. Her family is looking for her.
In August the trial starts at the regional court of Braunschweig. It becomes known that the perpetrator's sister was contemplating conversion to Christianity. Her mother points this out to her: If someone leaves Islam, this person may be killed. In the courtroom the perpetrator calls his sister a traitor. He stores her number in his mobile under "dirt".
In September, the parents and the younger brother of the perpetrator will be indicted.
The victim's mother lives in witness protection. She heard the 5 fatal shots while she was on the phone with her son. Even her lawyer doesn't know where she lives. It is known that the father of the perpetrator has threatened the victim with death before.
