Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the case of Nkumba Tshiembe, who he said killed Christian Zedig at Islands Brygge, was the most unreasonable he had experienced in his many years in politics. He emphasized that Zedig left behind a wife and two young daughters, and wrote that the court sentenced Tshiembe to 12 months in prison and 12 months of quarantine from nightlife. According to Messerschmidt, Tshiembe had previous convictions for violence, rape, and attempted murder. Messerschmidt criticized the government and said he would work for harsher penalties and to deprive criminal immigrants of citizenship in order to send them home. He urged supporters to back his work and said that the goal was to make Denmark the world's safest, most secure, and most just country. #Retfærdighed #Sikkerhed #Politik (translated)

Nadja Natalie Isaksen wrote that she had been in court the day before to see Nkumba Ludovic Tshiembe and hear his explanation. She wanted to assess his body language herself and get a sense of whether he regretted it, as she believed it could not be properly evaluated through the media coverage. She described it as unbearable to see Christian Johan Zedig's family in court and his wife crying. According to Isaksen, the wife said the case had destroyed everything. She wrote that the pain of Christian's family was hard to understand solely through media coverage, and that lawmakers should therefore attend court to see the consequences of the policies adopted by the Parliament. Isaksen called the one-year sentence unfair. She wrote that Tshiembe, in her impression, appeared affected, often looking down at the table or covering his face with his hands, and had difficulty looking at Zedig's wife. She recounted that Tshiembe had said that he felt terrible, but added that it could not bring Christian back. She believed that Tshiembe should be stripped of his Danish citizenship and permanently expelled. She referred to the fact that he had been convicted of aggravated assault and rape in 2014 and attempted murder in 2017, and wrote that the two girls would otherwise have had their father today. #Retten #Uretfærdighed #Justits (translated)

Adam Gwiazda wrote that 31-year-old Nkumba Ludovic Tshiembe was sentenced by a Danish court to one year in prison and a one-year ban from entering nightclubs. According to the author, on June 30, during a public broadcast of the World Cup match between Norway and Ivory Coast at the fan zone in Copenhagen, Tshiembe struck 32-year-old Swedish police officer Christian Zedig in the neck or head while he was trying to separate a fight. The rupture of the artery led to Zedig's death on July 3. Gwiazda stated that Tshiembe pleaded guilty and did not appeal the verdict. The court classified the act as ordinary assault rather than murder, assessing the blow itself rather than its fatal consequence. The author added that Tshiembe had lived in Denmark since the mid-90s and had previously been sentenced to seven years in prison for attempted murder with a knife, as well as for rape and other violent crimes. #Polska #sprawiedliwość #Kopenhaga (translated)

Magnus Barsøe criticized that the 31-year-old Nkumba Ludovic Tshiembe had supposedly received one year in prison for killing a family man. He wrote that Tshiembe had previously been convicted of rape and attempted murder, and called the sentence, as well as a one-year nightlife ban, insufficient. Barsøe called for minimum sentences inspired by the USA, although he did not advocate for the American legal system. He believed that greater alignment between the court’s sentences and the public’s wishes was necessary to maintain trust in the rule of law, and that the current gap harmed democracy and was deeply unfair to the victims of crime. #retsstat #strafferet #retfærdighed (translated)
