The trial for the unfortunate demise of a 23-year-old student in Aschau im Chiemgau continues to drag on, with the Traunstein District Court scheduling four extra sessions up until February 8. Previously, the trial was set to conclude by December 22, just before the festive period. A court spokesperson revealed in a recent statement that these additional dates were allocated in a precautionary fashion, in anticipation of further motions for evidence, and because additional witnesses have been summoned.

In the days leading up to Christmas, the trial will once again zero in on the findings of the forensic medicine department – and the debate around whether the young woman's injuries might have resulted from an accidental fall into the river or if they were inflicted with malicious intent.

A member of the public stumbled upon the student's body in the Prien River during the afternoon of October 3 last year. She had spent the evening in the "Eiskeller" club in Aschau im Chiemgau and had left for home in the early morning hours, but she never made it there.

Six weeks after the incident, a 21-year-old individual was apprehended. He has stood trial for murder at the Traunstein District Court since October. The prosecution alleges that he followed the young woman on her journey home from the "Eiskeller", subjected her to unwanted sexual advances, struck her on the head, and ultimately threw her, injured, into the Bärbach, which feeds into the Prien River. The student is believed to have drowned as a consequence.

Investigate Further:

  • Despite the ongoing trial in the Traunstein District Court, the circumstances surrounding the 23-year-old student's demise in Aschau im Chiemgau around the Yuletide season remain unresolved.
  • The Regional Court in Traunstein, Bavaria, has added four supplementary dates to the murder trial, extending it until February 8, due to the possibility of additional motions for evidence and additional witnesses being called.
  • The court spokesperson clarified these extra trial days were a prudent measure, as there are questions regarding the woman's injuries, whether they resulted from an accidental fall into the river or were induced by malevolent acts.
  • Bavaria's criminal investigations continue in the case of a 21-year-old gentleman, currently on trial for murder since October, in relation to a young woman’s demise in Aschau im Chiemgau near Traunstein.
  • The prosecution accuses the young man of pursuing the woman on her journey home following an evening out at the "Eiskeller" club, subjecting her to unwanted sexual advances, striking her head, and ultimately casting her injured into the Bärbach, which feeds into the Prien River. This series of events led to the unfortunate drowning of the young woman.
