Gina H. murder trial: Defendant denies killing of eight-year-old Fabian
The murder trial of 30-year-old Gina H., accused of killing eight-year-old Fabian in Güstrow on October 10, 2025, continues at the Rostock District Court. The prosecution alleges that H. lured the child from his apartment and subsequently stabbed him six times at a pond near Klein Upahl before setting his body on fire. The suspected motive involves H.'s relationship with the victim's father.
During recent proceedings, H. has provided testimony that includes significant contradictions. She has denied involvement in the crime and has spoken about a history of domestic violence, stating she is “accustomed to being beaten” due to abuse from her mother and previous partners. She also addressed her relationship with the victim's father, describing instances of violence against her and the children.
Defense attorney Andreas Ohm has challenged the utility of mobile phone data presented by the prosecution, citing inaccuracies and noting that location services were turned off. Meanwhile, Judge Holger Schütt has been scrutinizing H.'s statements, particularly regarding her movements on the day of the crime and her relationship with the victim's father. The trial has drawn substantial public interest, with spectators queuing for hours to attend the hearings.
