Overview
- Prosecutors accuse the 31-year-old of murder on grounds of treachery, alleging a forceful, targeted kick to the 57-year-old’s head in September 2024.
- The chamber indicated that murder by omission could also be considered because the injured man was allegedly left without help.
- Defense attorney Adam Ahmed moved to suspend the proceedings, but the court proceeded to view CCTV from the scene while deferring a decision.
- The indictment states the victim died either from a heart condition triggered by the attack or from choking on his tongue soon after.
- The case followed a photo-backed public search and an arrest days later near Düsseldorf, and the seven-day schedule with a potential December 16 verdict may now slip.
