Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the attempted killings should be qualified as murder rather than attempted intentional killing.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The overall circumstances showed particularly unscrupulous conduct: the accused acted to secure his escape and avoid prosecution for drug trafficking, accepted the killing of several people, and displayed an extraordinarily callous disregard for human life.
Extrahierte Begründung
Murder under Art. 112 StGB depends on a total assessment of the act's inner and outer circumstances. A spontaneous act can still be murder if the motive and purpose are especially reprehensible. Here, the egoistic goal of escaping lawful police intervention and preventing imminent prosecution, combined with the willingness to shoot in a confined room at multiple persons, satisfied special unscrupulousness.
