A bloke's under the scanner in Nuremberg's criminal court for allegedly gunning down two mates outside a pub, leading to one pal's demise. The 29-year-old suspect, hailing from Turkey, is set to face charges of murder and attempted murder, starting an anticipated 29-day trial commencing Wednesday. Exemplary security measures are in place due to the trial's sensitive nature.

efore the horrific incident, which took place in October, there was reportedly a squabble between the accused and the victims. Believing they could reconcile, the suspect planned to meet them at a café. However, upon their arrival, he whipped out a palm-sized firearm, emptying several rounds into them brutally. In a struggle, the suspect attempted another shot at the 35-year-old victim, narrowly missing him. Remarkably, the 35-year-old managed to disarm the culprit. Regretfully, the other man succumbed to his wounds later that day at the hospital.

In the immediate aftermath, the area was sealed off, and heavily armed police officers patrolled, trying to locate the assailant. Anxiety spread across Nuremberg, as people wondered if the fugitive was still lurking in the city. Though no dire threat was assessed, citizens were urged to refrain from confronting the suspect, considering him highly volatile and possibly armed.

The manhunt continued for months, involving a global manhunt with released photos and details. Eventually, the elusive suspect was detained in a Rimini, Italy hotel room in late January, and was subsequently extradited to Germany later in February.
