Stuttgart Regional Court is set to deliver a verdict on Friday (noon) concerning a suspected murder of a caregiver. The defendant stands accused of fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend at an apartment complex for caregivers in Stuttgart in mid-August of the previous year. It's claimed that the accuser assumed the woman was pregnant, which would make him responsible for child support payments. Contrary to this assumption, the 32-year-old woman had already undergone an abortion.

The 40-year-old German-Polish defendant is alleged to have stabbed the woman more than 22 times. Per his defense, the victim picked up a kitchen knife during the scuffle. The accused man then "lost his temper," so his defense submitted. The public prosecutor seeks a life sentence for the man unless he's convicted of murder. On the other hand, his defense lawyer requests a careful evaluation of whether the motive established constitutes murder.

Incidents like the one in Stuttgart are referred to as femicide. Femicide occurs when women are murdered simply because they're women. It's the most common iteration of which is women slain by their partners or ex-partners.
