Two teens arrested for beating man to death - Munich

Two German teenagers were arrested Saturday after beating a 50-year-old man to death at a regional express train station in Munich, police have confirmed.

According to witnesses, "two youths aged 17 and 18 threatened a group of younger teenagers, demanding money, and a 50-year-old man became involved trying to calm down things," police spokesman Andreas Ruch said.

Once they and the man had left the train, two youths then attacked him for interfering, "jumping on him and beating him up," Ruch said.

The man was left on the ground, unconscious, and the emergency services were called to the scene at the Solln train station.

Perhaps is time to allow law adiding citizens to carry weapons and adopt Texas justice - it may be the first step in ridding Germany of its scum like those mentioned above.
The fact that they have criminal records for a number of offences is evident they are not fit to live amongst the civilized and should be exterminated.

Amen to you mog404, I agree 100%,

The U.S. has a murder rate of 5.6 per 100,000 inhabitants. Germany has 1 per 100,000. So that's like, one sixth.
Keep your stupid gun laws to yourself.

I am just in Shock! This could have been me. Right in my neighborhood.

Why will they be charged with "attempted murder" when the victim died from his injury?

Read this SPIEGEL article and you´ll see the difference between proper journalism and "information" provided by The Local :

Justiz ermittelt wegen Mordes gegen S-Bahn-Schläger

Quite a shock when I heard about this this morning.
It's going to be interesting what comes out about the perpetrators of this over the next while.
The S7 is hardly the "crime line" of Munich.
The worst offence I'd expect there would be wearing a polo shirt in a shade of pink that is so last summer.

If I had my friggin' way I'd put the teenagers parents' in jail too giving them some culpability for this murder.

It´s not "attempt murder", it´s "murder".
What caused this insury? To qualify for murder to victim does not have to die immediatly. The fact that the prosecutor said was that they stopped beating the men as he laid on the floor and then they continued beating him again, so it was not an action in emotion. (which would be manslaughter/second degree murder/Totschlag).

What I dont understand is that the article states the two "are likely to be charged with attempted murder" The guy is dead. whats with the "attempted murder"? They succeeded in killing him.

Would this mean they could successfully use as a defence they are not guilty of attempted murder 'cos they succeeded?!!!

absolutely sickened at both crime and head title of the article

Why in the world would you want to charge the parents, and with what crime would you charge the parents?

The perpetrators are going to be charged with murder. Too bad they won't get a life sentence.

Since they cannot be repatriated to a different country this is obviously the only solution*. Society has to realize that it's not ethnicity that turns kids to drugs and crime, it's society itself. It's sickening that anybody that young has nothing better to do than ruin his mind with drugs and then go out and commit crimes.
