Karlsruhe (dpa) - According to the preliminary assessment of an expert, the confessed assassin from Waldkraiburg is only partially guilty of a mental illness.
However, according to a decision of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) from the end of November, which has now been published, the cancellation of the culpability cannot be assumed.
The highest criminal judge in Karlsruhe had heard the man and then ordered the continuation of pre-trial detention.
