Six months after a 52-year-old man met a violent demise, the prosecution has leveled charges against two underage individuals. The two adolescents, aged 14 and 16, are accused of inflicting bodily harm that resulted in death, according to an announcement by the prosecutor's office in Heilbronn. It is alleged that they physically assaulted a drunk man at a train station in Eppingen (Heilbronn region), causing him serious injuries. It's said that a dispute occurred before the attack. Following the assault, the 52-year-old man perished from his wounds.

The two minors are also being accused of robbery in a separate incident. Back in September, they're believed to have threatened two 15-year-olds in Eppingen with a knife and robbed them. As of January, the suspects were arrested and held at a youth welfare facility. Due to personal rights and their age, the prosecutor's office elected not to reveal the nationality of the youngsters. Typically, proceedings involving juveniles are confidential.

The crime committed by the two minors has sparked a debate about youth justice in Baden-Württemberg. Despite the severity of the indictment, they are being held in a youth welfare facility, reflecting the complexities of juvenile law enforcement. The public prosecutor's office in Eppingen is determined to seek justice for the 52-year-old victim, who tragically lost his life due to the bodily injury inflicted during the attack. The case has echoed through the local courts of Heilbronn, where the trial is anticipated to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the deadly incident.
