Overview
- The case, which opened Thursday at the Braunschweig regional court, is scheduled for seven hearing days through May 8.
- Prosecutors say the 27-year-old lured her husband into the cellar in Schladen-Werla in November 2025 and poured highly concentrated formic acid over his head and face.
- The charges include attempted murder under the elements of Heimtücke, meaning exploiting a defenseless victim, and Habgier, meaning acting from greed.
- Investigators report the man suffered severe burns, lost sight in both eyes after his corneas were destroyed, and was placed in an induced coma for several days.
- The defendant denies intent and told the court there was a struggle over the bottle, while she remains in custody as the court hears further evidence and witness testimony.
