Three individuals find themselves in the dock at Hamburg District Court, starting Tuesday at 1 PM, charged with joint murder and robbery. The alleged events unfolded on the night of April 14, when the trio, consisting of a German, a Serb, and a Syrian, are believed to have plied their 39-year-old victim with a lethal concoction of alcohol, cocaine, and methadone in one of the accused's apartments.
The indictment alleges a chilling turn of events as the drugs reportedly took their lethal toll, resulting in an overdose. While the victim was helplessly succumbing to the effects, the defendants are purported to have made off with the 39-year-old's prized possessions, including his watch and cash.
The accused are also under scrutiny for their subsequent actions, including placing orders in the victim's name and breaking into his home to steal further items, such as keys, cell phones, documents, and technical equipment.
The criminal proceedings will delve into the relationships between these individuals of different nationalities and the actions they took, culminating in the 39-year-old's untimely passing and the subsequent felonies.
