Susanne is a nurse and primary school teacher, works at the Wallschule, a special needs school in Frankfurt/M. The two marry, have 2 children and live in Langen near Frankfurt.

On the morning of April 5, 2018, Edin suffocates his wife in her sleep with a pillow. She was a strong asthmatic. The perpetrator turns himself in to the police. The children were in the house at the crime. They come into the family of their grandfather.
