Supreme Court to hear appeal on 20 October in planned daughter's murder case
According to spravy.stvr.sk, the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic will consider on 20 October the case of Mohammed G. P., an Afghan with British citizenship, whom the Specialised Criminal Court (ŠTS) convicted of preparing to murder his own daughter.
The first-instance court found both the defendant and his cousin Dary K. S. guilty of the particularly serious crime of premeditated murder in the preparation stage, committed in the form of joint perpetration. Both received eight-year prison sentences with medium-level security and confiscation orders. Both appealed against the verdict.
The trial at the ŠTS began in March 2022. The court originally acquitted both men, but the Supreme Court overturned this ruling and returned the case to the ŠTS.
According to the charges, the pair travelled to Slovakia multiple times from August 2018, gathered information about the victim, and systematically prepared her murder. The motive was alleged to be the dishonour of the family and Islam — the victim left the shared household, moved to Austria and Slovakia, where she married a man of Jewish faith, converted from Islam to another religion, and made films with pornographic content. Both men repeatedly denied guilt.
The report was taken over by the TASR news agency.
