German female IS recruit 'let slave child die of thirst' in Iraq
28 December 2018
A female Islamic State group member accused of letting a five-year-old girl die of thirst in scorching sunlight is facing war crimes charges in Germany.
The 27-year-old German, identified as Jennifer W, and her husband bought the child as a house "slave" in the IS-occupied Iraqi city of Mosul 2015.
Her husband chained the girl up outside after she fell ill and Jennifer W did nothing to save her, prosecutors say.
She also faces murder and weapons offences charges.
If found guilty in the terrorism court in the city of Munich she faces a maximum sentence of life in jail.
