Kiel, Germany - A court in Germany on Wednesday sentenced a man to life for murdering his 29-year-old daughter after getting her pregnant.

The crime, which took place in 1996 in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, was only discovered last year when the victim's younger sister went to the police. The 69-year-old man was arrested two days before Christmas 2010.

The murdered woman, who had learning difficulties, was Turkish and had been staying with the family illegally after her tourist visa expired. Her disappearance, therefore, went unnoticed by authorities.
Her father had lived in Germany for more than 40 years and taken German citizenship in 2001.

The younger daughter, now 33, told the court that he had threatened to kill her if she did not help to hide the body.

The dental assistant told the court that her father had told her in advance of his intention to kill her sister, saying: 'I think she's pregnant, I have to get rid of her.' She came home from school shortly afterwards to find the body in a bag on the balcony.

He had first buried his victim in a garage, but later dug it up and put the remains in the rubbish. But police later found bones in the garage with the help of sniffer dogs.

The man had sent his wife away to a health resort at the time of the crime and when she later asked where her daughter was he told her that the police had deported her back to Turkey.

He then forbade her from trying to visit her daughter and later told her she had been killed in an earthquake.

It was the mother's continual demands to know what had happened to her older daughter which eventually caused her to go to the police, the younger daughter said.

Police are now investigating her for being an accessory to murder and for not reporting her father when she first heard of his intentions.
