Coburg (dpa / lby) - He is said to have murdered his ex-girlfriend and her small child: the trial against a 35-year-old is about to be completed before the Coburg district court. Although witnesses and experts are still being heard today, according to a judicial spokesman, the pleadings and the pronouncement of the verdict could also follow on the same day.
The public prosecutor's office accuses the Moroccan of stabbing the woman and her then two-year-old daughter to death in an asylum seeker's accommodation in Kronach at Pentecost last year. In court, the man denied murder. He just wanted to hurt his ex-partner.
The process began in the spring. Because of the poor state of health of the accused, trial days were even held in the man's sickroom at the Bayreuth Clinic.
After the fact, he had doused himself with liquid grill lighter and set himself on fire. This caused a deflagration and rooms in the accommodation also caught fire. The accused survived with serious injuries. He is charged not only with double murder, but also with aggravated arson.
