During the court trial for the Bremen landlord's murder, the prosecution calls for the conviction of the three suspects on charges of joint manslaughter. Expect a 13-year and 9-month sentence for one defendant, a 41-year-old, and a 14-year and 6-month sentence for another, 41-year-old suspect. The third, 42-year-old suspect will likely face a 13-year and 5-month prison term.

The trial commenced in February 2023. At its inception, the prosecutor claimed these three Germans had committed premeditated murder for financial gain, reportedly killing and robbing the landlord in April 2020. Following the crime, both the victim's family and the police initially believed he was just a missing person. Despite the Lower Saxony region's investigation efforts, not all of the 46-year-old victim's remains have been discovered, as confirmed by the court spokesperson.

The proceedings are to continue on June 21; the defense is anticipated to argue on this date. The trial could potentially conclude with a verdict on June 24.
