Getting ready for a dramatic turn of events at Ulm District Court on Monday morning at 9 a.m.! The accused, a German gentleman, is facing trial for four counts of attempted murder. The charges against him also include aggravated arson and grievous bodily harm. The public prosecutor's office is pushing for an eleven-year sentence, while his defense attorney believes a five-year sentence would be fairer.
The saga began in April 2022, according to the indictment. The intoxicated man allegedly doused his separated wife's and her partner's cars with petrol in an underground car park in Ulm and set them ablaze. Then, he headed to his wife's apartment, where their son lived as well as his wife's partner and his son. There, he smashed a window with a rock and poured petrol into the apartment and on his wife's new partner.
The partner successfully managed to snatch a lighter from the accused during a scuffle. The man remained resistant when it came to apprehension. At the onset of the trial in October, the accused made it clear that he did not seek anyone's demise. Currently, he remains in custody.
While the public prosecutor's office advocates for a tough sentence due to the numerous attempts at murder, arson, and grievous bodily harm, the defense pleads for leniency. They argue that there was no intent to commit a crime leading to death.
