The district court in Frankfurt an der Oder has sentenced a 27-year-old to ten years imprisonment for a violent crime.

According to a court spokesman, the judges in the Brandenburg town saw it as proven that the defendant killed his roommate with 15 stab wounds in March and then dismembered it in the bathroom so that he could hide the dead person in a trolley suitcase.

The verdict was therefore issued for manslaughter, the exact motives for the act could not be clarified despite extensive evidence in the process.

According to the court spokesman, in addition to his confession, the traces of the crime also spoke for the guilt of the accused.

However, the exact processes remained unclear.

The crime took place in Wandlitz in March.

According to the indictment, as a trained chef, the accused had specialist knowledge that helped him sever both legs and the left arm of the victim.

Accordingly, the doorbell rang when he tried to stow the body parts in the trolley.

The man fled, leaving the suitcase and the body parts behind.

He turned himself in to the police a few days later.

Confession rated positively

With their ruling on Monday, the judges stayed under the prosecution's demands, which had called for 13 years in prison.

According to the spokesman, they assessed the defendant's confession as positive.

The defense called for six years in prison.

According to the spokesman, a possible act of self-defense had played a role in the process.

According to the judges, this did not match the traces.

The defendant was found fully guilty.

A suspicion of drug use was not confirmed.
