The trial of a suspected murder and a suspected attempted murder in the rocker scene has begun at the Duisburg Regional Court.

Six men are accused of being members of the Hells Angels at the time of the crime.

According to media reports, the two alleged main perpetrators are not there, they are said to be still on the run.

Five of the accused are said to have been involved in a fatal attack on a man from their own ranks in January 2014.

At the start of the process, the 35 to 46-year-old men did not comment on the allegations.

According to the indictment, the victim was shot in a car trailer in Mönchengladbach and then dismembered.

The body parts were stowed in food barrels, poured with concrete and sunk in the Rhine and other bodies of water.

Some body parts later turned up.

The victim was suspected, as reported by the WDR, among others, to have revealed secrets of the rocker gang.

"The killing served to eliminate a traitor and thus consolidate the Hells Angels' position of power," according to the indictment.

The trial is also about another case: the attempted murder of a member of the rival motorcycle club Bandidos is also being negotiated.

The man was shot in Oberhausen in November 2013.

The victim was hit by four bullets but survived the attack.

The charges are murder, attempted murder and perversion of justice.

According to "WAZ", not all of the accused were involved in both acts.
