Munich/Starnberg (dpa/lby) - The trial of an alleged triple murder in Starnberg continues. The district court of Munich II announced further hearing dates on Friday. The process, which has been going on for over a year, could thus drag on into February 2023.
Two young men are in court. One of them confessed to having shot his buddy and his parents in their house in Starnberg in January 2020. The second accused is said to have driven him to the crime scene and picked him up from there.
The public prosecutor assumes that the accused wanted to sell their friend's illegal weapons. The main defendant, on the other hand, stated in his confession that he had shot his friend in order to prevent a killing spree he had planned.
The investigators initially assumed a completely different scenario - namely that the son first shot his parents and then himself. The verdict in the trial could come on February 10, according to the court's new schedule.
