Following the unexpected fatal knife attack on a teenage girl at a high school in St. Leon-Rot, the prosecutor's office has charged an 18-year-old man with murder. The incident is alleged to have taken place in a school room where the defendant is believed to have stabbed the same-aged victim.
Moreover, the suspect is also facing charges of dangerous bodily harm due to a car accident while trying to evade capture in the town of Seesen, Lower Saxony. It's now up to the Youth Chamber, functioning as the jury of the Heidelberg Regional Court, to decide if a main trial should be initiated.
Authorities have indicated that the attack was completely unexpected for the victim, leaving her unable to defend herself. The Heidelberg prosecutor's office shared this information on Wednesday.
