Did she inject insulin and morphine into her husband while he slept?

A murder trial is in progress against a woman from Tegernsee.

She is also said to have stolen her husband's ashes.

  • This bizarre murder case from Tegernsee has occupied the region and investigators since August 2018.

  • Ekaterina R. was arrested a good six months after her husband's death.

  • Now the trial has finally started - with dramatic details on the part of the prosecution.

Update from September 24th, 3:15 p.m.:

In the trial against a woman from

Tegernsee

because of the

murder

of her

husband

, the first witnesses testified.

Two police officers and a doctor gave the Munich II regional court on Wednesday details of the location of the victim,

who had died in his bed

from an

overdose

of drugs in

August 2018

.

His 49-year-old

widow

is said to have killed the man and

dug up

his

urn

in the cemetery.

Suspected poisoning at Tegernsee: doctor suspected suicide

A doctor who was called reported that he had suspected the deceased had committed suicide because the latter had complained of depression.

One of the policemen who then examined the apartment said in court that he had a "strange feeling" and suggested an autopsy of the body.

The suspect, however, was arrested less than six months later.

At the start of the trial on Monday, the 49-year-old had to make a statement.

That did not happen at first.

The charge is

murder

and disturbance of the peace of the dead.

The public prosecutor's office formulated the alleged motive as follows: The defendant "had decided that her husband, from whom she had benefited considerably financially for many years, was no longer of any use to her".

The Tegernsee murder trial could be sentenced in November

Later the

widow

is said to have

drilled

open

her husband's urn grave and took the

urn

with her.

According to the prosecution, she put some of the ashes in a glass and the rest in the cover of her pillow.

The three children of the deceased are admitted as joint plaintiffs in the proceedings.

According to the court, a total of 14 trial days are scheduled.

The verdict could therefore fall in early November.

Article of September 21: Tegernsee

-

Ekaterina R.

would have liked to have

said

something before the

Regional Court

Munich II.

Again and again she started to explain.

But then her defense attorney Garina Hamel grabbed her shoulder through the narrow slit of the corona protective barrier to silence her.

"Our client won't let in today,"

said co-defender David Mühlberger later.

You can

not separate the

curriculum vitae

and

facts

...

Ekaterina S. is accused of terrible things.

In August 2018, she is said to

have killed her husband

in

Tegernsee

(Miesbach district).

To do this, the trained nurse first gave him a strong

sleeping pill

.

It should be his evening antidepressant.

When he fell asleep, she injected the non-diabetic man with insulin several times.

But the man did not die.

So she picked up three vials of morphine in the morning hours of August 8th.

Murder investigations at Tegernsee: public prosecutor names greed as a motive

Eventually the 60-year-old doctor died.

That is what the indictment says.

And that the doctor was no longer of any use in retirement.

During the course of the marriage she had already signed his property over to her.

The apartment on Tegernsee also belonged to her - at most, he still enjoyed a lifelong

usufruct

.

So there was nothing to be gained financially from her husband, and in the background the next relationship with a wealthy man was already beckoning.

"Incidentally, through the death of her husband, the accused intended

to secure

his remaining

assets

as an

inheritance

," read public prosecutor Matthias Braumandl.

Poisoning from Tegernsee?

It was a suicide, says the widow

The 49-year-old followed his words motionless.

On the night of the crime, they both

had a

seafood

pizza

for

dinner

.

A neighbor with dementia (93) was there, whom Ekaterina later brought to his apartment and to bed there.

The couple went to sleep at home too.

Before that, they still had sex.

The 60-year-old felt secure.

The next morning he was dead.

Murder trial after the doctor's death in Tegernsee: Ekatarina R. dug up the urn again and ...

Ekaterina had her husband cremated and buried in the Tegernsee

cemetery

.

It was a suicide, she said.

At some point at night she crept to the cemetery, opened the grave slab with a cordless screwdriver and stole the

urn

.

She poured a small portion of the

ashes

into a glass and wrote her husband's first name on it.

She filled the rest in the cover of her pillow and satisfied herself on it.

At least once.

That is also in the indictment.

The process is ongoing.
