Gina H. to testify in Rostock murder trial of eight-year-old Fabian FAST-MOVING

murder trial Rostock District Court Gina H. Klein Upahl child homicide

The murder trial of 30-year-old Gina H. at the Rostock District Court has reached a critical juncture. After four months of silence, the defendant is expected to provide her first testimony during the 22nd day of proceedings.

Gina H. is accused of murdering eight-year-old Fabian on October 10, 2025, near a pond in Klein Upahl. Prosecutors allege she stabbed the child six times and subsequently set his body on fire using lighter fluid. The prosecution suggests the motive was to eliminate a point of contention with the boy's father, with whom the defendant had a four-year relationship.

Defense attorneys have indicated that a full confession is unlikely and that the defendant intends to defend herself. The trial, which began on April 28, has seen the presentation of various audio recordings, intercepted phone calls, and video footage from the defendant's time in pretrial detention. A verdict is currently scheduled for September 10.
