A German court has handed a life jail term to an Afghan man for a car-ramming attack in Munich last year that killed a two-year-old girl and her mother and left dozens injured.
The Munich court rules that the crime carried “particular gravity,” a designation that will make it much harder for the 25-year-old man, named only as Farhad N., to ever win release from prison.
