A 21-year-old man, Marlon R., was sentenced to ten years in prison by the Saarbrücken District Court for the attempted murder of an 18-year-old woman. The attack occurred on March 25, 2026, on a regional train near Sulzbach, where the defendant ambushed the victim and stabbed her at least five times with a hunting knife, including a strike to the neck.

The court determined the defendant acted with “intent to kill and through treachery.” In addition to the prison term, the defendant was ordered to pay 25,000 euros in damages to the victim.
