Cologne (dpa) - The so-called Siegaue rapist is on trial again this Tuesday (9:30 a.m.): This time, among other things, it is about serious arson.
The legally convicted rapist of a young camper is said to have set fire to his prison cell in the prison in Cologne in 2018.
A prison officer and a fellow prisoner suffered smoke inhalation and he was seriously injured.
According to the indictment, the now 34-year-old is said to have threatened prison employees with death in two cases.
For the trial before the Cologne Regional Court, four trial days are scheduled until May 14th.
The main negotiation was supposed to start in the spring of last year, but was postponed in the course of the first corona lockdown.
The Bonn district court sentenced the rejected asylum seeker from Ghana to ten years imprisonment for particularly serious rape and extortion by predatory acts.
According to the verdict, in 2017 he attacked a young couple who were camping in the Siegaue near Bonn.
He threatened the victims with a pruning saw and raped the woman.
The act had caused horror nationwide.
