The trial against three men who are said to have shot a 42-year-old in front of a bar in the Wedding district began in the Berlin district court on Wednesday.

The three are accused of joint murder.

According to the indictment, they acted insidiously and with base motives.

The 34-year-old Amir O. is said to have killed the 42-year-old in October last year at close range with two targeted shots in the head.

His father, 52-year-old Ismet H., and his cousin, 29-year-old Renato O., are said to have been nearby to secure the crime.

According to the indictment, the three acted according to a common plan.

Dispute about a seat in the cinema

According to the public prosecutor's office, the background to the crime is a dispute over defamation between the family of the accused and that of the dead man.

A dispute in 2005 over a seat in a movie theater is said to have grown into a family feud.

After the initial disputes could still be settled, years later there were more arguments.

At a wedding celebration in 2018, mutual insults are said to have occurred.

According to the prosecution, this finally led to the 42-year-old being seriously injured by several members of the other family during the night with punches and kicks.

Two of the accused – the 34-year-old and his father – were sentenced to three years in prison by the Berlin district court in 2019 for joint dangerous bodily harm.

However, a member of her family also had a firearm with her in the 2018 incident, which he did not adequately secure.

A shot was fired, fatally injuring a young woman from the same family – the daughter or sister of the accused.

According to the public prosecutor, the period that followed was characterized by threats and vows of blood revenge, and various so-called justices of the peace are said to have been involved.

It is said that it was initially agreed that the man who was later killed would leave the capital for a while.

In September 2021, however, he was said to have been signaled that he could come back.

He was shot dead on October 2 of the same year.

The 34-year-old and his father were serving their sentences from 2019 in an open prison at the time of the crime.

After their return to the prison, they were immediately transferred to the closed prison.
