Dresden (dpa) - In the process of the fatal attack on two tourists in Dresden, the taking of evidence is to be concluded today (1 p.m.) with the report of a representative of the youth court assistance.
Then the pleading of the federal prosecutor's office is expected, which had charged the accused Syrian with murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm.
The 21-year-old is said to have stabbed two men from North Rhine-Westphalia from behind on October 4, 2020 because of radical Islamist sentiments.
A 55-year-old died, his life partner barely survived.
Abdullah A., who is considered an Islamist threat, has so far remained silent in court.
In conversations with an appraiser, however, he had admitted the act and declared that his task was to kill "unbelievers".
He came to Germany in 2015 as a minor refugee and in 2018 he was sentenced to a youth sentence for propaganda for the terror network Islamic State (IS), which was tightened after attacks on law enforcement officers.
He was released at the end of September 2020 - against strict conditions.
After the bloody act five days later, he was initially able to escape undetected.
He was caught less than three weeks later.
