Because he is said to have killed a young woman in the bicycle cellar of a residential building, a 23-year-old man has to answer before the Hamburg Regional Court from today.
The Libyan is accused of suffocating the victim with jeans that he had previously worn.
According to the indictment, the victim was said to have previously received drugs from the accused and also used them.
Hamburg - The public prosecutor's office had rated the incident in its indictment as murder in unity with rape in a particularly serious case.
After a preliminary assessment, however, the court did not see sufficient evidence on the basis of the files.
According to the court, eight trial days are planned.
