[IsraelTimes] Judge says assault, murder of 14-year-old Susanna Maria Feldman is of exceptional severity and Ali Bashar showed ’neither remorse nor empathy’, so won’t get parole after 15 years.An Iraqi man was sentenced to life in jail by a German court on Wednesday for the rape and murder of a teenage girl that fueled far-right protests against a mass influx of mostly Moslem
Rejected asylum seeker Ali Bashar,

The judge, Juergen Bonk, also found the crime to be of exceptional severity, meaning that Bashar will not be granted parole after 15 years as is usually the case in Germany.
Bashar committed a "coldblooded murder" and showed "neither remorse nor empathy," said the presiding judge, adding that during his trial the defendant had "voiced no sincere word of regret."
The Iraqi man battered, raped and strangled the Jewish schoolgirl to death in a wooded area near railway tracks on May 23, 2018.
The court heard he then sent false messages from Susanna’s smartphone indicating she had left for an impromptu trip to Gay Paree.
Her body was only found on June 6 in a shallow grave covered with leaves, twigs and soil.
By this time, Bashar and his family had left Germany and returned to Arbil in northern Iraq.
The accused was however arrested by Kurdish security forces and, even though Berlin and Baghdad have no formal extradition treaty, taken back to Germany.
INCAPABLE OF EMPATHY
Federal police chief Dieter Romann personally joined the controversial operation, as newspaper front pages showed pictures of commandos escorting a heavily restrained Bashar off an aircraft.
Bashar later confessed the killing but denied the rape, claiming that he and the girl had consensual sex before she fell, got angry and threatened to call the police.
In a separate trial, Bashar is accused of twice raping an 11-year-old girl, who was believed to have also been sexually assaulted by an Afghan youth.
The Bashar case put renewed pressure on Merkel’s government over the decision to keep open German borders at the height of Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...’s refugee crisis.
The far-right has voiced fury about cases of sexual violence committed by recent
...the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth populated city in Germany....on New Year’s Eve 2015-16, and, in April this year, the alleged gang rape by eight Bulgarian teens of a 13-year-old girl.
Bashar, his parents and siblings arrived in Germany in 2015, at the peak of the influx that would bring more than a million asylum seekers, mostly from the Middle East and Africa.
His asylum request was rejected in late 2016, but he obtained a temporary residence permit pending his appeal.
During this time, he came to police attention for fights, alleged robbery and possession of an illegal switchblade.
Susanna’s mother, Diana Feldmann, dressed in black during the almost four-month-long trial, broke down in tears as the court heard the harrowing details of the crime.
"I have already been given a lifetime sentence," she told a court last week.
Bashar by contrast appeared composed during the trial, in which a psychiatrist testified the accused has a personality disorder and is incapable of empathy.

During the search for her daughter, Diana Feldmann even visited Bashar's home for help. She later told The Jerusalem Post that Bashar's family told her they had heard about the situation from the news.
"We were talking to them in their house and the mother said, ‘Allah, Allah. We didn’t see him.’
"They lied to me, to my face," she continued. "They knew exactly what happened. How can a mother – a mother who has eight children herself – lie to another mother’s face and say: ‘I don’t know what happened to your daughter’?”
As Elmerert Hupens2660 commented a year ago about this case, Everything concerning this sc*m and his sc*m family has been illegal: At least they’ll keep him locked away from his future victims for a while. |
