Murder case in Aarhus: Accused woman had relationship with co-accused for seven months
A Polish man and a Danish woman are charged with the murder of a 26-year-old Polish man found dead in a sewer west of Aarhus. The woman denies any knowledge of the victim.
Accused murderers were in a relationship until the murder in Harlev J
A 31-year-old Danish woman and a 42-year-old Polish man, both charged with murder, had a romantic relationship for seven months prior to the killing of a 26-year-old Polish man. This emerged from the woman's testimony at Aarhus District Court on Tuesday, as reported by B.T.
– He has some special eyes when he looks only at me, the woman said about the co-accused man during her witness testimony.
The 26-year-old Polish man was found dead on 28 February in a sewer in Harlev J west of Aarhus. According to police, he was presumed killed on 5 February 2025 sometime between 18:08 and 22:00.
The two accused were arrested in May 2025 and have been held in custody since then.
Special prosecutor Birgitte Ernst outlined the circumstances of the case on Tuesday and stated that the deceased and the 42-year-old accused man knew each other through work. However, the precise nature of the relationship is unclear, as the accused man has chosen not to give a statement.
The court did not hear on Tuesday what specific connection there was between the victim and the accused woman. However, telephone data shows that a phone associated with the woman had contact with the victim's phone 60 times on 35 different occasions in the weeks leading up to 5 February 2025.
Despite this, the woman denies any knowledge of the deceased.
– I have not seen him, I have not spoken to him, I have not written to him. I have no idea who he was, she said in court.
