A pilot at Munich Airport is likely to lose his job. His wife is to blame. She had turned her husband over to the police.

  • A man from Erding hoarded numerous dangerous weapons at home.
  • He even threatened his own wife with death.
  • After all, she had enough - and revealed her husband's "hobby" to the police.

Erding - He describes himself as a gun man and hoarded numerous weapons at home. The 60-year-old did not have all of them legally. The man from the northern district even violated the War Weapons Control Act in at least one case. It was the wife who had tracked the investigator down. He will lose his job at the district court in Erding after his conviction yesterday and should therefore be forced to retire.

Pilot from Erding hoarded illegal weapons - and threatens wife with death

Perhaps the captain who flies for an Indian airline would never have been exposed. His fate was on January 13, 2018, a violent argument with the wife . The officer called the police at around 11 p.m., according to a policeman on the stand. Her husband beat her up and threatened to shoot her. A large contingent of civil servants approached and encountered the two slightly injured spouses. A snack board served as a weapon .

The wife led the police officers to the extensive weapon collection , including pistols , rifles and submachine guns or parts thereof. A total of 10,000 rounds of various ammunition were seized. Only the legally owned weapons were properly kept. The 59-year-old had hidden three behind a panel in the kitchen. But the investigators of the State Criminal Police Office also found what they were looking for in adjoining rooms and in the garden shed. They also confiscated a laser pointer for a pistol and a target light for a long gun.

After an argument with the wife: Gun man from Erding brought to psychiatry

The pilot initially went to the psychiatry in Taufkirchen for four days because it was not clear whether he was a danger to himself or to others.

Yesterday, the father of two 16-year-old children had to answer before the lay judge at the district court in Erding, chaired by Björn Schindler.

Wife whistles gunman - lawyer defends the property

Prosecutor Nina Wittig listed the extensive possession of weapons . It was not so easy for the court to divide legal and illegal gunshots apart. In the end, only the closure of a Uzi submachine gun was subordinated to the War Weapons Control Act. The other violations came under the Arms Act .

Attorney Thomas Fauth granted all charges for his client. However, he assured that the pilot only had weapons and ammunition and wanted "in no way" to use them. For the most part, he brought the parts to Germany and assembled them in his apartment.

After judgment in the regional court - professional existence destroyed

Wittig praised the fact that the accused was not convicted and confessed. However, there were numerous prohibited weapons. The threat to shoot the wife is also of great importance. The prosecutor ordered two and a half years in prison . Fauth considered a year and eight months on probation to be sufficient. The professional existence is destroyed anyway. With this punishment , his client would lose his pilot license. "For him, that means the compulsory pension," said the lawyer.

The lay judge followed the defense's request. For Schindler, the wife's threat was negligible. It could not be demonstrated that it was statement against statement. In addition, the pilot has to pay 5000 euros to the prisoner care.

A marriage dispute in Töging am Inn turned out less lightly. A man stabbed his wife with a kitchen knife - in the shared apartment. A marriage dispute in Dachau was less tragic and rather strange. There a man choked his wife in an argument - and threw her a bicycle.
