German prosecutors demanded life in prison on Thursday for the man on trial over the 2024 car ramming attack that killed six people at a Christmas market in the eastern city of Magdeburg.
Prosecutors demanded the harshest possible sentence for the confessed attacker, Saudi-born Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen, telling the court that the car ramming which also wounded more than 300 "defies human comprehension."
The attack "was planned long in advance" and created ongoing suffering among victims and their families that is "simply indescribable," prosecutor Matthias Boettcher told the court.
During the months-long trial Abdulmohsen, a psychiatrist and anti-Islam activist, admitted to planning an attack but denied deliberately running people over.
His testimony in court was sometimes incoherent and riddled with bizarre conspiracy theories and references to fringe far-right ideas.
