Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - A drug deal, which ended in a life-threatening knife attack, is being dealt with in two processes from this Wednesday at the Frankfurt Regional Court. First, at 9:00 a.m., proceedings against two 25 and 29-year-old men for drug trafficking begin. They are said to have expressed an interest in buying seven kilograms of marijuana at a price of 34,000 euros.
A trial before the Assize Court, which starts at 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday, deals with what happened during the purchase negotiations in a hotel parking lot. The 24 and 26-year-old defendants are said to have threatened prospective buyers with knives. The 25-year-old man later suffered life-threatening lung injuries. According to the indictment, the 29-year-old received seven stitches all over his body. The charge is attempted manslaughter. Both processes should run until December.
