Kernrechtsfrage
Whether X.'s participation qualified as complicity in assassination rather than complicity in murder under Art. 112 CP and Art. 26 CP.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A helper can be convicted of complicity in assassination only if he personally acted with a particular lack of scruples; here X.'s conduct, before, during, and after the killing, showed such a lack of scruples.
Extrahierte Begründung
X. joined the plan to preserve his friendship with Y. rather than save a human life, helped transport an agonizing victim into the forest, remained indifferent during the killing, and afterwards helped conceal blood traces. Those circumstances revealed egoism and coldness amounting to particular depravity.
