Ten months after the violent death of a 24-year-old, the murder trial of a young man began on Monday in the Görlitz district court.

The alleged 20-year-old man from Eritrea at the time of the crime is said to have smothered the compatriot with a pillow in her apartment on the evening of December 5, 2020 when she resisted sexual intercourse.

Görlitz - Then the man tidied up the apartment and cleaned the crime scene.

"He put her new pants on, laid them on her bed and covered them with her blanket," said Chief Prosecutor Kerstin Nowotny.

It should look like she died peacefully, they said.

Then he withdrew 150 euros with her debit card.

For the prosecution, murder out of greed is therefore an option.

The defendant did not comment on the allegations at the beginning of the trial.

He sat motionless with folded hands.

The 24-year-old was found on December 7, 2020.

A supervisor became suspicious when the young woman no longer appeared for training as a nursing student in Görlitz and did not answer her cell phone either.

The supervisor drove to the apartment of the dead.

According to accounts, the defendant was sitting on a ledge across from the apartment building at the time and had followed the carer, who had a duplicate key, into the apartment.

At the sight of the dead, the defendant did not react, she reported to the court.

"He was cold." The two compatriots from Eritrea had known each other from the language meeting.

Investigations led to the man who initially got caught up in contradictions during the interrogation.

When his home was searched, items belonging to the victim were found.

He had admitted visiting the woman and having sex and has been in custody since December 13, 2020.

The trial will take place in front of the youth chamber of the Görlitz district court.

The defendant himself claims to be 21 years old.

This would mean that he was still an adolescent at the time of the crime and could be punished under juvenile law.

The public prosecutor's office assumes that he is two years older and has turned on the Eritrean embassy.

A total of nine days of negotiations are scheduled for the process until the end of November.
