Unforeseen gunfire on a public road: Accused remains speechless post incident - Unforeseen road shooting claims lives, accused remains speechless
In the Duisburg Court of Assizes, a murder trial is underway against a 37-year-old German national named Alexander K. The trial commenced on Thursday, 11th of September, following Alexander K.'s arrest a few days after a fatal shooting incident in December 2023.
The crime took place in broad daylight in the Duisburg district of Neudorf. The victim, Ertan, a 41-year-old man, was fatally shot during a dispute at a local bar. According to the prosecution, Alexander K. allegedly fired multiple shots at Ertan after an argument escalated, resulting in Ertan's tragic death.
Investigators believe that the two men knew each other, and an analysis of Alexander K.'s mobile phone indicates that they had arranged to meet on the night of the crime. The victim was struck by three bullets, one in the face and two in the back of the head, according to the forensic evidence.
At the start of the trial, Alexander K. stated that he did not wish to comment on the charges. The trial will examine the circumstances leading to the shooting, witness testimonies, and the evidence collected during the investigation.
The court has initially scheduled four trial days, with the trial ending on September 11. The outcome of this trial will determine Alexander K.'s fate and bring closure to the family and friends of the victim, Ertan.
- The Community policy in Duisburg should prioritize addressing local disputes to prevent war-and-conflicts like the one that led to the shooting of Ertan, a tragedy that is currently under investigation within the ambit of crime-and-justice.
- As politics in general-news circles discuss the need for vocational training to equip young people with necessary skills, the vocational training of witnesses in the Alexander K. trial is crucial to ensuring an unbiased testimony.
