The 37-year-old defendant is no stranger to the young police superintendent from Weißenfels, who took his seat on Tuesday morning in the witness stand of the regional court in Halle. He has often met him professionally, reports the policeman. The reasons were property damage or bodily harm. “I never saw him sober,” said the officer.
At their last meeting in the health care garden division in Weissenfels, the defendant met the police officer on a summer morning with bloody hands. Then he slumped. “Take me with you,” the 37-year-old is said to have said. He went nuts.
Blood on his hands is from his ex-girlfriend
The blood on his hands came from his ex-girlfriend. Which at that time was heavily marked by slaps in her face in the nearby gazebo of a friend. Her injuries were so severe that she was even in mortal danger. There has been a bleeding in the area of her brain stem.
Has she beaten her ex-boyfriend so badly? On Tuesday in court, he at least admitted through his lawyer that he hit the 27-year-old in the face with the flat of his hand. After yelling at and insulting him beforehand. Then he lost his composure. When he saw that she went down bleeding, he said he wiped the blood from her face and took care of her.
A caring bat, then?
A caring bat, then? This is the picture of the accused and his lawyer in court. Actually, the 37-year-old just wanted to get his homeless and drug addicted ex-girlfriend to be with him. Back to an empty house on Beuditzstrasse that the ex-couple had shared with two Polish drinkers at the time. Before that, he claims to have saved the ex-girl from one or the other junkie apartment. The young woman apparently withdrew there if she wanted to consume crystal meth undisturbed.
Not as noble, but as extremely emotional and jealous, others have described the accused so far. His ex, for example, the police superintendent or the friend who owns the gazebo that became the scene of the crime in the summer. According to the investigators, the defendant is said to have seriously injured the tenant his age with a spade in the head. Here, too, his point of view is different. In fact, he initially fended off a blow from the garden tenant before sending him to the ground in an argument. With fist and knee. The acquaintance may have injured his head while escaping over a fence, the defendant suspects.
The defendant faces up to 15 years imprisonment
If convicted of attempted manslaughter, he faces up to 15 years in prison. Also in the room is the suspicion that he raped his ex-girlfriend in the gazebo. In any case, she claims to have slept with him for the last time two months before the crime. “I ended the relationship in April. Then that was it, ”explains the 27-year-old. He claims that one day before the excess of violence in the gazebo in the empty house on Beuditzstrasse, consensual sex between the two took place.
Why did he even go late on the night of the crime to look for the 27-year-old – the public prosecutor asks the accused critically. “If you know your girlfriend is in a junkie den, don’t wait,” is his sharp answer. The trial against him is to continue in February. (mz)
