In the trial of the triple murder in Starnberg, the Munich II Regional Court found both defendants guilty.
The main defendant, Maximilian B., was sentenced to 13 years of youth imprisonment.
Eight and a half years were imposed on his co-defendant friend Samuel V.
After around one and a half years of proceedings, the court considered it proven that the now 22-year-old main defendant B. shot his friend and his parents in January 2020.
According to the verdict, V. was an accomplice as a helper.
B. made a full confession a year ago.
He also admitted that he wanted to get through the murders to get the guns his pal illegally owned to sell.
According to the public prosecutor's office, his 21-year-old roommate had planned the murder and driven the main perpetrator to the crime scene.
With the sentence, the court remained within the demands of the public prosecutor's office, which had demanded 13 years and six months of youth imprisonment and the reservation of preventive detention for both accused.
The defense of the main perpetrator B. had demanded twelve years of youth imprisonment, that of V. an acquittal of murder and a suspended sentence because of a robbery committed together with B.
