Munich (dpa) - The murder trial of a man who is said to have killed his wife with a shot in the head after 17 years together begins today (9:00 a.m.) at the Munich I district court.

He was only arrested in 2019, years after the alleged crime against the mother of his five children in 2015.

According to the investigators, he should have tried to make the act look as if the woman had taken her own life.

The public prosecutor's office now assumes that the now 61-year-old killed his wife out of jealousy because she had separated from him shortly before and had entered into relationships with other men.
