Crime - Fatal knife attack in Brokstedt: trial until April

In the trial surrounding the fatal knife attack on a regional train in Brokstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, the district court has scheduled further hearings until the end of April 2024. Initially, hearings were scheduled until this December. The extensive trial with several dozen witnesses began in July. The hearing of evidence will continue on Monday with the questioning of a forensics officer, as the district court announced on Friday.

The Palestinian Ibrahim A. must answer for two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder. The public prosecutor's office accuses the then 34-year-old of stabbing a 17-year-old girl and her boyfriend, who was two years older, to death on January 25, 2023 near the Brokstedt train station. Two other women and two men suffered serious injuries. The prosecution is convinced that Ibrahim A. acted with base motives and malice aforethought.

During the trial, numerous passengers reported how they experienced the horrific act of bloodshed. Police officers and rescue workers also reported their perceptions.
