JAKARTA - A gas station worker lost his life just because he reminded someone to wear a mask. The victim was shot in the head to death.

This heartbreaking incident occurred a year ago at a gas station in the western city of Idar-Oberstein, Germany as quoted by Channel News Asia, Tuesday, September 13.

The 50-year-old perpetrator, without mercy, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a German court.

The court found the defendant, identified only as Mario N because of privacy laws, guilty of murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

He has admitted to killing a 20-year-old gas station worker but is still arguing with the cause. Experts have found alcohol in his blood.

"It doesn't matter what the decision is, it won't change anything about what happened and about the missing person. It will never bring my child back," said the victim's mother, Michaela Rech.

The victim was a cashier. At that time he asked the perpetrator to obey the rules and wear masks when paying for a beer at a gas station.

The perpetrator initially refused and left. But a moment later he came back wearing a mask covering his chin.

When he approached the cashier and there was a fight, the perpetrator shot him in the head.

The victim died soon and Mario N then turned himself into the police station.

He said the coronavirus was stressful.
