Hesse: death after drug overdose: judgment expected

Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - In the trial over the death of a young woman due to a drug overdose, the verdict at the Frankfurt Regional Court is expected today. The 26-year-old friend of the 17-year-old victim is accused. He is said to have given her a synthetic drug to consume in the summer of 2017. While the man woke up a few hours later, the girl died of an overdose.

According to the indictment, the couple made a fatal miscalculation at the time and took several times the amount they found in instructions on the Internet. The public prosecutor's office requested a suspended sentence of two years against the accused. He is accused of "providing drugs to carelessly cause death," which is a special provision of the Narcotics Act.
