In the trial of the triple murder in Starnberg, the defense accuses the police of serious offenses.
She allegedly tortured and tortured the main defendant.
Starnberg / Munich - About two weeks ago the murder trial against two young men began at the Munich II district court.
A 21-year-old German is accused of murdering a friend and his parents in Starnberg.
The Slovak co-defendant (20) is said to have driven the alleged murderer to the family home and later picked it up again.
In his confession, the main defendant grievously incriminates his accomplice.
The defense of the 20-year-old driver now claims that this confession was made under torture.
Trial of triple murder in Starnberg: lawyers raise serious allegations
On Sunday, a letter from the lawyers of the co-defendant to the Munich II district court was made public, in which the Fürstenfeldbruck police are made serious allegations. They accuse the officers of "humiliation, torture and mistreatment" of the main defendant. The resulting confession should not be admitted as evidence. The 20-year-old would be as good as off the hook, as he was explicitly named in this very confession by the main defendant.
The defense accuses the police that the "allegedly obtained information is based on prohibited interrogation methods".
The accused, who incriminated her co-accused client in his testimony, was "either completely naked or only dressed in underpants and, in addition, only poorly provided with a brown blanket".
Due to severe neurodermatitis, the young man had "bloody spots all over his body".
Lawyer Alexander Stevens says he shouldn't have been interrogated under these circumstances.
In addition, according to Stevens, this interrogation was not recorded.
Thereby "the torture [...] should obviously be concealed".

Trial of triple murder in Starnberg: Police counter the allegations
Actually, the police did not want to comment on the allegations. A spokesman for the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria North said on Sunday: “Respect for the judiciary dictates that the police do not provide any information in an ongoing court case about incidents that are being dealt with in this case. If the defense brings up such allegations in court, they will be the subject of judicial review. "The allegation of torture is unfounded," added the spokesman. The trial in Munich will continue tomorrow. Then this request of the defense will also be dealt with.
