Higher Regional Court Hanover - The process of murdering one's own mother is coming to an end
The murder trial against a woman from Hannover, who is accused of killing her Mother with 37 stab wounds, is approaching its target. On Thursday (9:00 am) at the Hanover Regional Court, another witness is expected to testify, followed by closing arguments. The defendant is said to have killed the 74-year-old woman shortly before Christmas last year and then set their shared apartment on fire.
During the first trial day, the 50-year-old woman confessed to the crime but claimed she did not want to kill her mother. She then feigned an attempt at suicide.
According to the prosecution, the daughter felt unappreciated by her mother since childhood. She is believed to have committed the crime out of "deep-rooted hatred," as the prosecutor stated during the first hearing. The woman allegedly set fire to their shared apartment on New Year's Day 2024 to conceal the Murder.
According to a court spokesperson, a verdict could potentially be announced on Thursday.
