Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - Because he is said to have killed his roommate in a Frankfurt men's hostel with an iron bar, a man has to answer for the second time today (from 10 a.m.) before the Frankfurt Regional Court. The act of February 2017 had already occupied the jury in the summer of 2021, which sentenced the 52-year-old Ethiopian to nine years in prison for manslaughter and committed him to psychiatry. However, the Federal Court of Justice overturned the judgment for legal reasons and sent the matter back for retrial.
The 66-year-old roommate received seven blows to the back of the head and died at the scene. The defendant is currently in a psychiatric ward.
