Almost three years after the murder of Nicole Z. († 25) on a railway property on the street Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße in Leipzig, the suspect is finally to stand trial. The public prosecutor’s office has now applied to the Regional Court of Leipzig for the so-called “implementation of a safeguarding procedure” against a Bulgarian (22) who allegedly killed the woman.
According to senior public prosecutor Ricardo Schulz, Ahmed N., who was 19 years old at the time, killed a 25-year-old woman on the night of ” March 15, 2020, thus committing manslaughter.”
Passers-by had discovered the body on the railway premises on March 15. The dead woman had severe injuries on her upper body. The public prosecutor’s office and the police reported one year later that a suspect could be placed in a psychiatric hospital.
The investigating authorities assume that Ahmed N. “committed the offence in a state of insanity”. Nevertheless, the aim is to prevent the man from being released. Schulz told the newspaper BILD that the safeguarding procedure is intended to ensure that the suspected killer remains in a psychiatric ward for a longer period of time.
The case against another suspect, however, was dropped. The Turkish man (35) could not be proven to have participated in the crime “with the certainty necessary for an indictment”.
