Bonn: Defendant declares marriage proposal as witness in court

A man accused of attempted murder proposed to his partner in a trial in Bonn. The woman said yes on Thursday in the courtroom and thus decisively changed the procedure.

Because the woman was about to testify as a co-plaintiff, as the alleged victim of the accused. It is said that he severely mistreated her in February 2020 and attacked her with a bayonet. After the promise of marriage, she no longer had to testify against her future husband.

Since the two are now engaged, the presiding judge could invoke the right to refuse to testify. The woman then wrote down the accessory charges because she was no longer interested in the conviction.

Bayonet death threats

The indictment accuses the trained locksmith of having hit, kicked, strangled and pulled the hair of the mother of three, with whom he already has a son. He also repeatedly hit her head on the ground and threatened to kill her. It is said that she scratched her right cheek with a bayonet and tried to stab her spearhead in the head with all her might.

The motive for the act is said to be the defendant’s furious jealousy towards his girlfriend’s ex-husband. Despite the surprising twist, the trial against the relevant criminal record continues.
