  • A man from Heringen in Hesse is on trial.

Attempted murder is accused of a 33-year-old man from Heringen (Hesse) , who has to answer to the jury trial of the Fulda district court from today.

On September 18, 2015, the accused was said to have mistreated his then three-month-old son in such a way that he had to be hospitalized in Bad Hersfeld with life-threatening injuries.

Attempted murder of baby: father didn't call an ambulance after being abused

Because the father had failed to call an ambulance after the incident, he accepted the death of the baby from the Chamber's perspective - legally, that would be an attempted murder . An omission is an offense that makes doing nothing a punishable offense. In contrast to the so-called on-site offense, you will be punished for not doing something. However, the prerequisite is that the person who has remained inactive must have had the opportunity to act.

A motive for the child's abuse is so far unclear. According to prosecutor Natalia Fuchs, the man from Heringen in Hesse immersed the baby in the bathroom with his face in the shower tray or in the sink in a maximum of 69 degrees hot water, causing severe scalding.

During the subsequent hospital stays in Bad Hersfeld and Kassel, it was also found that the child had been administered amphetamines - a chemical drug - in a way that was previously incomprehensible. 

In addition, the 6th and 7th ribs were broken and there were hematomas on the buttocks and thighs. It has also not yet been determined when the infant was injured.

After attempted murder of baby: this punishment threatens the accused

In addition to the attempted murder , the facts concern the allegations of ill-treatment of those under protection, dangerous bodily harm and a violation of the Narcotics Act. If the father of the family is actually convicted of attempted murder, at most he will face life imprisonment as for the completed murder. 

However, the court can mitigate the sentence according to paragraph 23.2 of the Criminal Code, the framework would then be between three and 15 years. There are six months to ten years for the ill-treatment of those under protection.

Attempted murder of baby: trial begins - judgment to be delivered in late May

The trial for attempted murder was originally supposed to take place before the junior magistrate's court in Bad Hersfeld, but was then handed over to the higher instance of the district court in Fulda. There, too, there was a change from the youth protection chamber to the 1st criminal chamber, which caused further delays.

On today's first day of the trial, only the charges against the Heringer are read out. Another five days of negotiations are scheduled, so that according to the planning so far, a judgment could be given at the end of this month.
