Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the moral compensation awarded to the husband for his wife's murder had to be increased
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court erred by refusing any increase of the base amount and by reducing it schematically because of the appellant's residence in Thailand; the case must be reassessed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the reduction was insufficiently reasoned, that the circumstances of the marriage and the crime justified more than the minimum base amount, and that any reduction for foreign residence must be individualized, not formulaic.
