There are so many messed up things with this guy.

Judge: Why didn’t you inform Emergency Services to send an ambulance?

Defendant: That was the biggest mistake.

Really? Not calling them was? Your biggest mistake wasn't strangling her?

Also, they'd been dating for 1.5 years! She was just 15 years old and was dating a 21yo guy.

In some countries, that would be statuary rape. In Greece, it's 15. Things that make you go 'hmmmm'.

Lastly, she wanted him to convert to Christianity. Obviously their religions were already a problem for their relationship. If we take the testimony as factual (and I will), it seems like a pretty normal argument fed by high emotions and low maturity. Because hey, she's basically still a kid. Yeah, it wasn't a well handled argument, but he's 23, had known her for (at least) 1.5 years and went for physical violence to deal with the situation.

I don't see a problem with the verdict. He'll probably get parole in a decade or so, we'll see if the family gets revenge on him then.

>dating a girl with huge age gap

>Killed her for cursing Muhammad.

Somehow not surprising. Especially when Aisha was also 6 years old.

It doesn't help that the article seems to be quite poorly translated/written. It references the man asking the victims family for an apology when the quote indicated he is trying to give one. Very confusing/incorrect phrasing throughout.
