Ax attack trial: Ex-wife admits murder plot against husband!
A shocking trial at the Munich II Regional Court revolves around an alleged murder plot that resulted in an ax attack. The drama unfolds around a 58-year-old woman, her daughter, her partner and a Bulgarian man, all of whom are involved in the tragic events. The ex-wife, who won 1.2 million euros in the lottery in the past, surprisingly confessed that she wanted to have her former husband killed. The focus of the trial is the question of whether greed for money was the driving force behind this plot, as inFranken reports.
The husband was seriously injured when he was attacked with an ax in his own garden. Fortunately, he survived the brutal attack. The prosecutor and defense believe that the ex-wife commissioned her son-in-law to commit the murder, which she orchestrated as part of a larger plan to enrich herself after winning the lottery. According to information from [tz]. html#:~:text=M%C3%BCnchen%20%E2%80%93%20Now%20has%20the%20process%20at%20district court,%20the%20accused%2058-year-olds%20have now%20admitted%20the%20deed.) There is also tangible evidence that supports the defendant's plans.
The twist in the process
The proceedings took a dramatic turn when the defendant's daughter testified, incriminating her mother and thus leading to her confession. “I have no influence on the plan,” asserted the daughter. She claimed that she only found out about the murder plan after the fact. But if you look at the circumstances, the entanglements seem to go deeper. The daughter's partner is said to have brought a friend from Bulgaria to Munich, who, according to the public prosecutor's office, is considered a potential contract killer.
The public prosecutor's office is now demanding strict punishments: life imprisonment for the ex-wife and the alleged contract killer, as well as prison sentences of 7.5 and 10 years and 3 months for the stepdaughter and her partner. Interestingly, the defendants showed no remorse or acknowledgment of guilt throughout the entire trial, which makes the situation anything but easier for them.
Insights into crime statistics
Given these serious allegations and the course of the trial, it is interesting to look at the development of crime in Germany. According to [Hiskol](https://hiskol.de/blog/ criminal statistics-deutschland-seit-1980/), the crime rate in Germany has fallen, but the numbers in areas such as violent crime have increased. There has been a decline over the last decade, but violent crime increased by 8.6 percent in 2023, which is a cause for concern.
The ongoing change in crime is reflected in trials like this, where not only sophisticated fraud but also serious violence are involved. Society is facing new challenges and must meet the changing demands of combating crime.
The trial will continue on August 27, 2025 with the arguments from the prosecution and the defense. The public remains curious as to how the court will decide and whether the defendants will face the consequences of their actions.
