Restatement of judgment tenor to clarify concurrent convictions for murder and manslaughter following partial revision

The German Federal Court of Criminal Court (BGH) dismissed the defendant's appeal as unfounded, upholding the lower court's conviction for first-degree murder and maintaining the imposed life sentence, while specifically ordering the judgment tenor to be restated to clarify that the defendant was also final-convicted for two separate counts of manslaughter. The case involved a procedural correction following a partial quashing by a prior revision instance, where the appellate court determined that the surviving portion of the guilt finding regarding the two manslaughter counts had to be explicitly repeated in the operative part of the judgment to ensure clarity for execution and central register entry, without altering the substantive outcome of the murder conviction. The decisive legal basis included the application of Section 212, Paragraph 1 of the German Criminal Code for the murder charge and the procedural requirements under Section 354 of the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the restatement of judgment tenors after partial revisions to establish a clear foundation for legal consequences.
