Overview
- The Göttingen prosecutor’s office submitted a Sicherungsverfahren for manslaughter to the regional court’s jury chamber.
- Investigators say the 16-year-old was suddenly pushed on the platform and struck a passing freight train, and they rule out any suction effect from the train.
- DNA traces on the victim led to the suspect’s arrest on August 29, and he has since been held at the Moringen forensic psychiatric facility by court order.
- Prosecutors contend the 31-year-old Iraqi was legally not responsible at the time due to a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia.
- The court will decide whether to open public proceedings and set hearings, which would feature full evidence-taking and witness testimony.
