“Fear of death”: Hostages of the Halle attacker report. Next Wednesday, two more witnesses and a psychiatric expert will be heard.
Stephan Balliet, who has already been sentenced to the maximum sentence, is considered an extreme security risk. Balliet was sentenced to life imprisonment in December 2020 for racist and anti-Semitic attack in Halle in October 2019. When he tried to storm the Kippur holiday, he murdered two people near the synagogue and tried to cause a massacre.
