Lüneburg (dpa / lni) - Eight months after the attack with two dead on a jewelry and antique shop in Celle, the trial against a 38-year-old in the Lüneburg district court begins.

Starting today, Tuesday, the 11th major criminal chamber will be negotiating for jointly committed attempted serious robbery.

The public prosecutor's office accuses the defendant of having made an appointment with his brother and another person involved.

He is said to have set off with his brother on September 14th from Waltrop in the Ruhr area, picked up the third one en route and dropped them both off in Celle.

The brother pushed the third person in a wheelchair.

The defendant is said to have parked the getaway vehicle and kept in contact.

The other two are said to have entered the shop with handcuffs, a gun, a hand ax and a knife.

There the man jumped out of the wheelchair over the counter and lunged at the jeweler’s wife in order to choke her and handcuff her.

The jeweler then entered the sales room and was threatened with a firearm by the brother.

The jeweler then shot both perpetrators with a gun.

The brother died on the scene, the other person involved later succumbed to his injuries.

The manslaughter case against the shopkeeper had been dropped.

The public prosecutor's office in Lüneburg assumed that the senior had acted in self-defense.
