Defective weapon saves man's life: attempted manslaughter

After an incident at a kiosk in Frankfurt's Gallusviertel, a man is standing this Friday (9:30 a.m.) on suspicion of attempted manslaughter before the Frankfurt Regional Court.

According to the indictment, the 30-year-old was involved in an argument at the kiosk in September last year, during which he drew a gun, pointed it at his opponent and pulled the trigger.

Frankfurt / Main - Due to a technical defect, however, no shot was fired - this saved the life of the other person.

In another argument, another man is said to have lost seven teeth from knee bumps in October.

The jury chamber has initially scheduled seven trial days until the end of November.
