Saxony: 20-year-old in court for double manslaughter

Chemnitz (dpa/sn) - After two people were fatally stabbed with a knife, a 20-year-old must answer to the Chemnitz Regional Court from today (9:00 a.m.). The indictment accuses him of stabbing two neighbors with a kitchen knife in the courtyard of an apartment building in Chemnitz in August 2022. The 46-year-old woman died the same day, and the 34-year-old man died in hospital a few days later.

The accused was arrested shortly after the crime. The German is charged with manslaughter in two cases. Because he is considered an adolescent, the process is negotiated before the juvenile court. She has more appointments scheduled through the end of March.
