In 2009 a girl was murdered in Schweinfurt, in 2017 a young woman in Aschaffenburg. The accused are each their fathers. The common motive from the point of view of the investigators: the men did not agree with the lifestyle of their daughters. In both cases, the term honor killing buzzes through the media. The new episode of the Main Post podcast “Mordsgesprche”deals with this term and the cruel deeds behind it.
19-year-old Mezgin N. from Aschaffenburg and 15-year-old Bsra. from Schweinfurt had to die because they wanted to live differently than their families – especially their fathers – expected of them. At least that’s what the investigators are initially assuming in both cases. But it turns out that the motives are not as clear as initially thought.
