Chemnitz (dpa) - The death of a man more than 17 years ago in Chemnitz will be rolled out by the regional court from this Friday.

The dead man's wife is accused.

She is accused of murder out of greed.

According to the prosecution, she was said to have given her alcoholic husband a sleeping pill that made him faint.

She then gave him a bottle of cognac and half a bottle of disinfectant, which caused him to die.

At that time, it was assumed that there was an accident, and it was only through a complaint this year that the charges were brought.

Further negotiation days are planned for the process until mid-January.
