Process in the main train station: Young woman fatally stabs 64-year-old!

At the main train station in Kaiserslautern, the focus is on a process that now comes into its decisive phase. Borkener Zeitung reports on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. The case revolves around a fatal knife stab in which a 20-year-old woman is charged with murder. The public prosecutor raises allegations of bodily harm with death consequences that go back to an incident in June 2024.

The young defendant is accused of having injured a 64-year-old man with a knife stab in the main station who died shortly afterwards from the consequences of the injury. In the ongoing negotiations, the public prosecutor emphasizes that the woman could have predicted the outcome of her deed and possibly avoid. The investigation shows that the man touched the woman immoral on a escalator.

incident and reactions

According to the information from Tagesschau there was a violent change of words when the woman reacted to the sexual harassment of the man. In the course of the argument, she pulled a folding knife and stabbed him in a supposed attempt to self -defense. An appraiser was consulted to clarify whether her drug treatment, which is carried out due to her ADHD disease, had an impact on her actions. It also suffers from alcohol and drug problems.

A witness of the incident confirmed a wrangling that had taken place between the two people. According to the defense, the accused only set a single, targeted stab to free herself so that she hit the heart of the man. This presentation of the events is supported by CCTV recordings that documented the crime.

legal classification of the crime

The case also raises legal questions that are relevant in German law. According to Section 227 of the Criminal Code, a bodily harm can be carried out as a basic offense through deliberate action or failure. In order to evaluate the severe consequences - in this case the death of the victim - a close causal connection between the assault and the occurring death must exist, as in the explanations of wikibooks can be read.

According to the public prosecutor, the accused did not act with a killing facility, but it is held accountable for negligent killing. In the event of a conviction for assault with death, she could threaten a prison sentence of up to three years. If a less difficult case is determined, the punishment could be reduced to one year. Two further trial days are already scheduled to conclude the process.

The outcome of this procedure is eagerly awaited, since it is re -examined both the questions about legal responsibility and the social implications of violence in public spaces.
