Key legal question
Whether the killing should be qualified as intentional homicide or manslaughter under Art. 113 StGB
Extracted holding
The conviction for intentional homicide stands; the requirements for an excusable violent emotion or grave mental distress were not met.
Extracted reasoning
The defendant was in an emotional state, but the provocation was not objectively sufficient and he shared responsibility for the escalation. His burden did not amount to a grave mental distress within Art. 113 StGB.
