Shocking new info released about the German mayor who was nearly stabbed to death a few days ago.
Her 17-year-old adoptive daughter tortured her for hours and set her hair on fire but hasn’t been jailed because the assault has been classified as bodily harm instead of attempted murder.
The prosecutor justifies this on the grounds that the daughter herself called the 911, which allegedly shows that she didn’t have an intent to kill.
The daughter subjected her mother to prolonged torture in the basement of their home – and then attempted to cover up the evidence. Despite this, the prosecutor has not requested that the daughter be remanded in custody, but is investigating the case as a standard assault.
The brutal attempted murder of Iris Stalzer, Social Democratic mayor of Herdecke, has caused an international uproar. And the twists and turns are becoming increasingly absurd.
The police's version of events is that the mayor was taken down to the basement and abused for several hours. Among other things, the daughter allegedly tried to set her hair on fire. She is also said to have used two kitchen knives, stabbing her 13 times.
The mayor had to be airlifted to a hospital and was in life-threatening condition for the first hours after the attack.
One of the bloody knives was found in the 15-year-old son's backpack along with his sister's bloody clothes. The other knife was reportedly found in his room. A forensic examination also revealed traces of blood that had been scrubbed away in the home.
Despite the allegations of torture, misleading the police, and destruction of evidence, there is no request for the adoptive daughter to be remanded in custody.
The decision has provoked strong reactions with critics saying that the case illustrates double standards in Germany’s justice system where people can be sent to prison for tweets but 17-year-olds who torture someone for hours, set them on fire and stab them 13 hours are released from custody within a few hours.
