Iranian sentenced to life for killing woman in Germany

BERLIN – A court Germany has sentenced a 44-year-old Iranian man to life in prison for stabbing to death a woman on a street in the western city of Duesseldorf last year.

German news agency dpa reported Thursday that the Duesseldorf regional court earlier found Ali .S, whose full name wasn’t released for privacy reasons, guilty of murder.

The suspect, who was arrested in Spain, had stalked the 36-year-old woman. She had rejected his advances, whereupon he stabbed her 27 times in July 2018.
