Würzburg (dpa / lby) – More than ten months after a woman was taken hostage in Lower Franconia, the accused largely admitted the crime at the beginning of the trial. At the time, his client did not come to the house in Karlstadt (Main-Spessart district) in which his ex-girlfriend lived with her new partner with the intention of killing him, said the 23-year-old’s defense attorney on Monday before the Würzburg district court. Rather, the two promised him help in coping with a life crisis, but then suddenly didn’t let him in on the night of the crime in early February. Then the situation escalated.
