In the Nuremberg trial surrounding the missing Alexandra R., several witnesses incriminated Dejan B.; he is said to have repeatedly threatened the pregnant woman. The 39-year-old is said to have even trusted him to kill her.
He talked for more than an hour and a half. About seizures, fee agreements, and connections between different companies. Entertaining anecdotes, endless details, almost without a break. And then these two sentences follow. “I don’t have the slightest doubt that this is my child,” says the man on the witness stand, looking at his chest. “This is the last thing I have left of my child.” Silence in the hall. Silence. He now wants to know whether it is possible to take a break. Yes, replies the presiding judge and interrupts. The man now slowly puts one foot in front of the other and walks out of the hall. He is wearing a dark blue jacket, underneath a white T-shirt with a dark print: the ultrasound image of an unborn baby.
