In Lübeck, a 52-year-old man is set to face charges for two counts of attempted murder starting Thursday at 9:00 AM. The accusations stem from an incident in Breitenfelde, Herzogtum Lauenburg, where he allegedly attacked his ex-wife and her new partner with a knife on June 20. Both victims required emergency surgery after sustaining critical injuries.
The proceedings will take place at the Lübeck District Court, a higher judicial body with jurisdiction over several districts in Schleswig-Holstein. Prior to the attack, the 52-year-old is said to have first assaulted the 45-year-old man in a public parking lot. The accused then pursued his ex-wife, who was 37 at the time, to the grounds of a detached house, attacking her as well.
The incident occurred during a child custody exchange, and their seven-year-old son witnessed the violent act. The young boy was with his mother and her new partner at the time of the attack.
The district of Herzogtum Lauenburg, where the incident took place, is situated in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The 52-year-old's attorney may choose to argue that his client's actions were driven by emotional turmoil resulting from their separation and the new relationship of his ex-wife.
