Jailed: German driver who dragged ex-wife around town with noose

A father who tied a noose around the neck of his ex-wife and dragged her by car around a German town has been jailed for 14 years.

Kader K, 28, sustained serious injuries as she was dragged over cobblestones at high speed by the VW Passat driven by Nurettin B in Hamelin.

Their two-year-old son Cudi, who was sitting in the back seat, witnessed his mother’s ordeal.

Kader was only saved when the rope snapped outside a fast-food restaurant and passers-by rushed to her aid.

She lay in a coma for weeks after the attack last November and has suffered brain damage that will require years of therapy.

However, she was fit enough to appear at Hanover State Court to see her ex found guilty of attempted murder after a trial.

In addition to the jail sentence, Nurettin B, 39, must pay her more than £100,000 in compensation.
