The murder trial began on Thursday behind closed doors in a youth chamber of the local regional court. A spokeswoman for the court confirmed this upon request. No further details were provided due to concerns about the protection of minors.
The student’s violent death also triggered nationwide sadness and horror. The prosecution accuses the alleged attacker, who is in custody, of murder and attempted murder. He is said to have shot his classmate with a pistol at his school in Offenburg on November 9th last year. The victim then died in hospital. A motive for the violent act had not yet become clear.

According to previous information from the court, a verdict is not expected until July at the earliest. Witnesses and a psychiatric expert have been invited to the negotiations. According to investigations, the suspect, a German, had 41 rounds of ammunition with him. The weapon used in the crime came from the parents’ household. According to the investigation, the young person also tried to set off an incendiary device in the classroom and then in the stairwell of the special needs school, but was unsuccessful. If convicted, the 15-year-old could face a youth sentence of between six months and ten years, according to the public prosecutor’s office.
