Questão jurídica principal
Whether the murder conviction under Art. 112 StGB was unlawful because the defendant allegedly acted only negligently or without intent.
Decisão extraída
The court held that stabbing the victim repeatedly with a large kitchen knife necessarily at least accepted death; the killing was also especially unscrupulous.
Fundamentação extraída
Eventual intent sufficed, and the manner and motive of the attack showed extreme ruthlessness and egoism. Diminished responsibility was relevant to sentencing, not to the legal qualification of the offense.
