Engelchen flieg is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The episode was produced by Südwestrundfunk under the direction of Hartmut Griesmayr and first broadcast on German television on November 1, 1998. It is the 399th episode of the crime scene and the 14th episode with Ludwigshafen investigator Lena Odenthal ( Ulrike Folkerts ). For her colleague Mario Kopper ( Andreas Hoppe ) it is the fifth case.

action

After two-year-old Yasemine al'Bakr fell from the sixth floor in Ludwigshafen and died, Commissioner Odenthal and her assistant Kopper determined the "unnatural death of a small child". First the investigators question the parents of Yasemine, Houari and Sabine al'Bakr. It is noticeable that the young mother hardly seems to mourn, while the father is desperate.

The autopsy reveals numerous older injuries and broken bones in the girl. That is why Odenthal asks the attending doctor who treated the last fracture and receives confirmation that something is wrong with the family environment. Kopper also researched in another hospital and came to the conclusion that the child must have been mistreated. Still, they don't want to prejudice the parents, as has already happened in the press, and try to find out what exactly happened. Surveys of neighbors and roommates of the tenement house reveal that Houari al'Bakr is more willing to use violence. Sabine al'Bakr, on the other hand, had received psychological treatment in the past and has since accused her husband of throwing the child out the window. This is then interrogated and says that he wanted to prevent his unstable wife from rushing out the window with the child and that she would have simply let the girl fall. In the end, Sabine confirms this version and is sobered to find that nothing has succeeded in her life, not even her suicide. While she was talking to Odenthal and Kopper about it, she stole the gun from the inspector and shot herself in front of the investigators.
