Sixfold Murder in Stade: Relatives Still Hoping for Trial After Suspect's Death
One month after a horrific sextuple murder in Stade, Germany, the case remains unresolved as the alleged perpetrator died in prison on July 21, reportedly by suicide. The Stade Public Prosecutor's Office continues to investigate two women—the 34-year-old mother of the child and the 65-year-old driver of the getaway car—for possible involvement. An autopsy is awaited to confirm the suspect's cause of death. Separately, the Hanover Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating who caused an infant's brain hemorrhage prior to the murders, with a medical report expected by end of August. Victim's lawyer Steffen Hörning and politicians are demanding an inquiry into the relaxation of the suspect's detention conditions, which had been lifted based on a psychologist's assessment. Survivors hope evidence will lead to charges against the two women, as the absence of a trial complicates their grieving process.
