Fatal knife attack by Brokstedt: trial until April
Ibrahim A. has been standing before the Itzehoe regional court since July. He is accused of a fatal knife attack on the regional train from Brokstedt. The negotiations will drag on into next year.
The Palestinian Ibrahim A. has to answer for two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder. The public prosecutor’s office accuses the then 34-year-old of stabbing a 17-year-old and her boyfriend, who was two years older, on January 25, 2023 near the Brokstedt train station. Two other women and two men suffered serious injuries. The prosecution is convinced that Ibrahim A. acted with base motives and treachery.
During the course of the trial, numerous passengers reported how they experienced the terrible crime. Police officers and rescue workers also reported what they saw.
