Hesse: Man in court for two attempts at murder

Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - A 50-year-old man has to answer to the Frankfurt Regional Court from this Friday (9.30 a.m.) for attempting to murder his wife and her companion twice. The indictment accuses him of initially attacking his wife with an ax in January of this year, but she was able to hole up in a restaurant in downtown Frankfurt. The woman's companion was later injured with a knife. The reason for the crime was the previous separation and a criminal complaint filed the day before by the woman for various snares.
