Woman stabbed to death in witness box by defendant

Post by 7zark7 »

Holy fuck! :eek:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldne ... orror.html

A woman witness was fatally stabbed in a courtroom yesterday by the defendant as she gave evidence against him.
The 32-year-old woman was attacked as she testified from the witness box in an appeal over a libel case in Dresden, Germany.
The 28-year-old defendant charged from the dock and knifed her.
In the chaos that followed, a policeman fired a shot and several court officials and members of the public sustained minor injuries as they wrestled the knifeman to the floor.
An emergency doctor was unable to save the victim's life. She was still in the court building when she died.
Police spokesman Thomas Geithner said: 'The man attacked the woman with a knife in the courtroom. She was dead in minutes.'
Her attacker is a Russian-born unemployed warehouseman who was fined last year after losing a libel case.
It involved a woman who said she was verbally abused by him in a children's playground in Dresden. The witness who died had overheard the slur.
Police said there was no reason to believe the defendant was dangerous and he was not searched before entering court. He now faces a murder charge.

In early April, a man shot dead his sister-in-law and wounded two other people at a court in Landshut, Germany, before killing himself with the gun during an inheritance case.

For the same reason that they don't search everyone who enters any other building.

$10 says more people die in McDonald's restaurants than court rooms. Should we put armed guards at the doors there?

Paperwork sure, but in this case I'm sure it won't be much more than formalities and lawyers working out the details. Of course it is Germany, and I have no idea about their legal system.

Perhaps the defendant should be searched?

It would certainly go a long way toward fixing the obesity problem if implemented in the States. :up:

because the people in courtrooms are usually criminals or other lawbreakers, typically previously in custody awaiting trial?

Around here you have to pass through a metal detector guarded by armed police at the main lobby.

Thought it was the norm for courthouses everywhere.

So a courthouse is the same as a McDonalds or any other building?
