Two policewomen from Baden-Württemberg have been sentenced to long prison terms for attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm to a police officer. The wife of the victim is to be imprisoned for twelve years, the co-defendant colleague for aiding and abetting for five years.
The judges thus remained under the demands of the prosecutor, as the "Swabian Tagblatt" reports. The prosecution had demanded that the wife be given life imprisonment for attempted murder, and that the accomplice should be held for seven years.
According to the verdict, the two women had tried to poison the man who also worked as a police officer, as the district court Tübingen announced. The 40-year-old wife and her two-year-old colleague are said to have given the man an overdose of medication. The 52-year-old came to a clinic in time and survived.
The husband's wife had admitted that he had injected him with insulin in February in the joint Reutlinger apartment in order to kill him. The drug can be life-threatening for anyone at high doses.
According to the indictment, the wife injected the victim with three milligrams of insulin and gave it as a vitamin supplement that promotes healing. Previously, she had given him orange juice mixed with medications to induce nausea in her husband.
As a motive, the prosecutor saw marriage problems. The man is said to have threatened his wife to separate from her, throw her out of the apartment and to deprive her of the children. His insults, insults and humiliation were no longer enduring. In addition, she had been overwhelmed because they had to take care of household, car, children and school alone.
The judgments are not yet final.
