Rostock District Court continues Fabian murder trial

The murder trial of 30-year-old Gina H. at the Rostock District Court has seen significant developments. Gina H. is accused of the murder of eight-year-old Fabian in Güstrow in October 2025. The prosecution alleges she killed the boy with six knife wounds and subsequently set his body on fire near Klein Upahl.

In a recent turn of events, defense attorney Thomas Löcker announced that Gina H. will answer questions in court, with the examination tentatively scheduled for September 10. This follows a previous session where the defendant read a 95-page statement denying the crime but declined to answer questions. The court has also extended the proceedings, with a potential verdict now expected in October due to new evidentiary requests, including a detailed expert report on the duration of the fire.

Testimony has become contentious. A key witness, Olaf K., expressed intense anger following claims made by the defendant that he was involved in the crime or acted suspiciously. Gina H. has also accused witnesses Christian D. and Olaf K. of misleading her regarding the location of the body. During recent proceedings, voice messages from the defendant were played, reflecting her frustration with the intense public attention surrounding the case.
