Germany: Merkel Muslim jailed – threw children out of window after wife ‘wanted to be like European women’

Syrian migrant who threw his three children from an upstairs window in row with his wife about her ‘traditional role’ is jailed for 15 years

A Syrian migrant who threw his three children out of a window in a rage when his wife insisted on being treated like other European women has been jailed for 15 years.

During the trial in the western German city of Bonn, an expert confirmed that the father – who could not be named under German privacy laws – is fully responsible for his actions.

The shocking incident happened at refugee accommodation in a converted Chinese restaurant in Lohmar, a town close to Cologne in the Western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Emergency services rushed to the scene near Cologne, Germany, and found his daughter, seven, and son, six, suffered serious internal injuries while his one-year-old daughter was relatively unharmed.

The wife of the Syrian migrant had made it clear that she was not prepared to accept the traditional Arab gender roles anymore and this had infuriated her husband who then threw his three children out of the first-floor window of the house.

Judge Kunkel described the injuries of the children in detail.

His seven-year-old daughter and now six-year-old son suffered internal bleedings, multiple skull fractures and other bone fractures from the fall.

His one-year-old daughter suffered relatively few injuries from the fall and only got some minor bruises as she fell on her brother.
