Siegen (AP) - In the murder trial for the killing of a senior with a screwdriver and a knife in Hilchenbach, Siegerland, the verdict is expected for today. The 20-year-old defendant allegedly broke into the 74-year-old's house in August 2020 in search of valuables and drugs and killed him with more than 70 stitches. After the crime, the German is said to have ordered two e-bikes worth over 10,000 euros via his victim's PC. When he tried to pay for it the next day with a fake transfer, he was noticed. The public prosecutor's office accuses him of killing out of lust for murder and greed. At the same time, she considers him incapable of guilt due to paranoid schizophrenia and therefore wants to have him placed in the penal system. Now the district court of Siegen decides.
