A trial has commenced at the Bonn District Court for a 42-year-old Eritrean national accused of murdering his wife in November 2025. Prosecutors allege the 32-year-old victim was strangled or suffocated in the back seat of a vehicle. The defendant is accused of dismembering the body and disposing of remains across several locations, including the Sauerland region, Rheinland-Pfalz, and near the A4 motorway. Investigators reportedly utilized DNA evidence and mobile phone location data to connect the defendant to these sites. Additionally, the defendant faces charges of child abandonment. It is alleged that their three-month-old daughter was present in the car during the killing and was subsequently left alone in a stroller near a monastery in Waldsolms, Hessen, during freezing temperatures. The infant was discovered shortly after and was uninjured.
