Witnesses in Fabian trial: Children claim they saw victim alive at time of alleged crime
Several children have contradicted the prosecution and reported seeing the deceased Fabian alive at the alleged time of the crime.
Witness statements shake prosecution case in Fabian matter
Several children have testified in the ongoing murder trial that they saw the deceased Fabian alive at the alleged time of the crime. This is reported by Google News LU DE citing Tagesspiegel and other German media outlets.
The statements contradict the prosecution's account of when the crime occurred. Classmates described in their reports an encounter with Fabian that they said took place after the alleged time of the crime.
According to BILD, it was three children who claim to have seen the boy alive – this was the 26th day of proceedings in the trial. The witness statements caused considerable tension in the courtroom: defendant Gina H. provoked one witness to such a degree that he reacted, according to T-Online, "furiously" and fired back sharply.
The victim's mother spoke out for the first time. "He made Fabian die a second time," she said according to Hamburger Abendblatt – a statement directed at the defendant.
The proceedings surrounding the boy's death are being closely followed by German media. The new witness statements could fundamentally call into question the prosecution's reconstruction of the crime so far.
