European criminal trials and legal proceedings

Overview

Various high profile criminal trials and legal developments are occurring across Europe.

In Germany, a trial is underway in Deggendorf regarding a triple murder in Zwiesel. A 39 year old Slovak national has partially confessed to the killings, citing substance abuse and frustration over a separation. The court intends to utilize Virtual Reality technology to facilitate a virtual walkthrough of the crime scene.

In Austria, legal proceedings involve multiple cases. In Klagenfurt, a 17 year old detained for a September killing has been ordered to a forensic therapeutic center following a psychological report identifying antisocial personality disorder. The Austrian ombudsman is reviewing if judicial authorities properly addressed prior warnings about the suspect. In Innsbruck, a murder trial for a 42 year old man accused of killing a student in 2005 is nearing its conclusion, with the prosecution relying on DNA evidence.
