The defendant is a teenager. He is charged with killing a 13-year-old. Now the trial against the perpetrator begins.
Heidelberg – A 14-year-old has had to answer for the murder of a boy at the Heidelberg district court since Wednesday. The process began as planned, said a spokeswoman for the Heidelberg Regional Court.
Because the defendant is so young, the court excluded the public from the trial.
The public prosecutor's office accuses him of killing a 13-year-old with multiple knife stabs in a wooded area in Sinsheim in February. According to earlier information, the background to the investigators was jealousy of a girl. Ten continuation dates are set for the procedure until December. dpa
