Deadly argument in asylum accommodation: man shot and dismembered!
In the trial that recently began before the regional court in Waldshut-Tiengen, the focus is on a 58-year-old man on suspicion of manslaughter and illegal possession of weapons in a particularly explosive case. The defendant confessed to shooting a 38-year-old man in an accommodation for asylum seekers. He explained that he did this in self-defense after previously being threatened by the man.
The crime took place in December and there are serious allegations against the defendant. After the man was shot, he is said to have taken the body to a nearby forest and later cut it into six pieces with a machete. These parts were allegedly wrapped in wire mesh and disposed of in the Rhine. The remains discovered were found in April near Breisach in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district, which only underlines the seriousness of the crime.
Details of the act
The defendant told the court that he had spent the Christmas holidays in a remote house with his family when the fateful incident occurred. He was insulted and threatened by the 38-year-old near the house. To defend himself, he got a pistol that he had brought with him and followed the man to his accommodation, where the fatal altercation ultimately took place.
After the incident, the defendant turned himself in to the police at the end of April and had already confessed what the investigators reported about his confession. This explanation could be decisive for the course of the trial and for the question of whether his behavior is recognized as self-defense.
This process has not only legal but also social relevance, as it raises questions about violence in refugee accommodation and how to deal with conflicts in crisis situations. The events surrounding the fatal shooting have already sparked discussions about security in such facilities.
