German prosecutors have demanded a life sentence for Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen, who confessed to a 2024 car ramming attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg that killed six people and injured over 300.
The attack, which prosecutors described as 'defying human comprehension', was planned in advance and caused 'simply indescribable' suffering among victims and their families.
Abdulmohsen, a psychiatrist and anti-Islam activist, admitted to planning the attack but denied deliberately running people over, instead claiming he didn't realise he had hit anyone.
Prosecutors, however, pointed to video footage that shows him driving at high speed in a zigzagging pattern through the crowded market, and argued that his motive was a conflict with a refugee organisation he had lost a civil suit against.
A psychiatric expert diagnosed Abdulmohsen with a narcissistic personality disorder and said he showed 'no remorse, regret or introspection whatsoever'.
