Berlin (dpa / bb) – The trial of the violent death of a 34-year-old mother from Afghanistan is today (9.15 a.m.) before the Berlin district court. Other witnesses are to be questioned. Two brothers of the mother of two are accused. According to prosecutors, they are said to have murdered their sister because she did not submit to the family’s moral standards. The 26 and 23-year-olds are said to have killed their sister on July 13, 2021, then brought her body to Bavaria in a trolley case and buried it there. The brothers have been silent so far. The case made headlines and triggered a debate about the term “honor killing” and the integration of refugees. The woman and the brothers came to Germany from Afghanistan a few years ago. She had divorced her Afghan husband. The victim had two children, aged 10 and 14, who are now involved in the trial as joint plaintiffs.
