Knife attack on Höherweg: Trial against 35-year-old begins

According to Google News DE — Crime (de), a 35-year-old Düsseldorf resident has been standing trial before the regional court since Tuesday. He allegedly stabbed his brother-in-law with a knife in the street on Höherweg in January of this year.

The victim was in mortal danger and could only be saved through emergency surgery. The alleged perpetrator initially managed to flee, but police arrested him near the crime scene.

Family disputes are cited as the motive. At the time of the alleged offence, the defendant is said to have suffered from depression — according to the prosecution, he is therefore considered to have diminished criminal responsibility. A verdict is expected in early August.
