Overview

• A 44-year-old woman is accused of fatally stabbing her 73-year-old partner in March 2024, allegedly motivated by greed to inherit his estate.
• The trial, scheduled to begin May 13, 2025, at the Landgericht Landshut, was postponed due to unresolved concerns over the defendant's medical fitness for court transport.
• Prosecutors allege the woman exploited the victim’s defenselessness to commit the murder, with the victim reportedly naming her as sole heir to his assets, including a multi-family house.
• The defendant’s health issues, initially suspected to involve an infection, were later clarified as rheumatic complaints; however, the court opted to delay proceedings to await further medical clearance.
• Seven additional hearing dates have been set through June 20, 2025, with the verdict expected on that date if the trial proceeds as planned.
