Update Story

About six weeks ago, I chatted over a dispute over in Kothen which led to a couple of immigrant guys (Afghans) in the middle of a situation where a German guy died.  At the time, it made the news but there were a lot of pieces to the story missing.

So I noticed via MDR (a public TV network from that region of Germany)....updating the rest of this story.

Cops now say that the two accused guys are still being held in custody and haven't been released.

The witnesses have provided a good bit of data and a autopsy has reveal some key items.

So the cops say that the two will be accused physical injury, and if convicted....the range would be three to fifteen years.  But here is the odd part of the story.....cause of death....heart attack.

What they say is that they found no fatal injuries from kicking or hits.  The dead German had a serious heart condition since birth and there had been some operations done already on his heart.

Odds of a conviction?  There's probably some first-degree or second-degree assault charge that might stick, but I don't see any other major charges coming out of this.  Getting into some stupid brawl.....you can stick to both of these guys and they should have cooled off on their aggressive nature. 

So, no knives or terror-type intentions....just stupid behavior which resulted in the German guy having a heart attack.
