It is literally the last course of the Lübcke family. The passage in front of the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe. Here the widow and the two sons wanted to ensure that not only the man who murdered the Kassel district president Walter Lübcke in June 2019 is convicted, but also the one who probably incited him to do so. Even during the trial before the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt, the family had sat face to face with the murderer Stephan Ernst, who had confessed to having shot Lübcke on his terrace, while his wife was inside rocking the grandchild to sleep. And the family looked Ernst’s friend Markus H. in the face every day, with whom Ernst had done target practice. In the end, the Lübcke family believed Stephan Ernst, who said: His friend Markus H. was there at the scene of the crime.
