Ludwigshafen – After the brutal death of a 59-year-old on Bayreuther Strasse in April 2021, a 46-year-old is in custody. Now his trial is being renegotiated:

Update from October 31, 2023, 1:39 p.m: The brutality of this case is still shocking – now the proceedings for bodily harm resulting in death against a now 46-year-old man are being reopened at the Frankenthal regional court.

Since Tuesday (October 31st), the defendant, who is in custody, has had to appear in court again. In April 2021, while heavily intoxicated, he is said to have abused a man (†59) so severely that he died. He had previously broken the nose of a man who was also drunk in his apartment in the problem area of ​​Bayreuther Strasse with a punch.

Neighbor (59) complains about noise during an argument – and is fatally injured by kicks

When the 59-year-old neighbor complained about the noise in the stairwell shortly afterwards, it was his death sentence. The accused knocks him to the ground with his fist, where he kicks the man in the head and shoulder. This causes the victim’s head to bang against the wall several times. He is ultimately injured so badly that he dies.

The man from Frankenthal, who has several criminal records, denied the allegations at the start of the trial, according to a justice spokeswoman dpa with. The trial is scheduled until December 18th.

Ludwigshafen: Man (59) kicked to death – witness with terrible details

Update from March 2, 2022: Because a now 45-year-old man from Ludwigshafen is said to have brutally killed a resident (†59) of Bayreuther Strasse on April 27, 2021 by punching and kicking him, he must answer for manslaughter and grievous bodily harm before the Frankenthal regional court. So far he has remained stubbornly silent about the serious allegations. Now a 58-year-old witness who lived opposite the victim has spoken out about the evening of the horrific act, as “Die Rheinpfalz” reports. Accordingly, a certain Boris also lived in the apartment of the person killed, but he had died in the meantime.

On the evening of the crime, he heard loud screams in the hallway, but saw nothing suspicious when he looked through the peephole. As a result, he then noticed “grinding noises,” as the Rhine Palatinate quoted the witness as saying. Boris and a second man dragged a person by his arms and legs into the apartment opposite him. The witness suspects that the man is living in this apartment illegally. This man is now supposed to be heard, but he has disappeared. After the two men initially rejected the 58-year-old’s offer to call the emergency doctor, they later asked him to do so because their cell phone would not work.

The request from the rescue control center to check on the victim turned out to be difficult because his neighbors’ electricity had been turned off. With a headlamp on his head, he finally went into the dark apartment where he saw the motionless man lying on the floor. Although he could neither breath nor feel a pulse, he carried out resuscitation measures until the emergency services arrived. But the victim could no longer be saved. The jury trial will continue on Monday (March 7) at 10 a.m.
