ISIS bride who bought slave girl, 5, and chained her in Iraq heat to die jailed

An ISIS bride who bought a slave girl aged just five and chained her in the Iraq heat to die a horrible death has been jailed.

German ISIS bride Jennifer Wenisch originally joined ISIS in Iraq where she left a young girl to die of thirst for wetting the bed back in August 2015.

Ms Wenisch, 32, has been handed a 14-year prison sentence by a court in Munich for her sickening crimes against a young girl who she purchased with her then-husband, an ISIS fighter.

The woman had argued it was her former husband who chained the young girl up in the horrific act of abuse but a judge decided she was equally responsible.

Prosecutors claimed Wenisch put a gun to the slave girl mother's head who she had also purchased in an attempt to prevent her from crying over the fate of her daughter.

The Higher Regional Court has charged Wenisch with enslavement resulting in death and accused her of having "acted out of contempt for fellow human beings," the Daily Mail reported.

Wenisch, who was initially convicted in October 2021 on two counts of crimes against humanity through enslavement one resulting in death, saw her appeal thrown out of court.

She was also convicted of being an accessory to attempted murder and a member in a terrorist organization abroad.

Her husband, identified only as Taha Al-J, had previously been convicted of genocide in a Frankfurt court back in November 2021, as well as crimes against humanity, war crimes and bodily harm resulting in death.

He was sentenced to life in prison while his former wife Wenisch was handed a 14-year sentence behind bars.

The girl's mother, who survived captivity and the horror gun threat from Wenisch, testified at both trials.

Wenisch's role in ISIS was believed to be that of a street patroller in Iraq who, armed with a n AK-47 assault rifle, pistol and explosive vest, would maintain strict dress codes and see bans on tobacco and alcohol were held.
