Investigator describes crime scene: Fabian found without blood traces on clothing

The trial over the death of eight-year-old Fabian is gaining momentum: The investigator who found the boy's body testified today as a witness and described the situation at the crime scene. One detail came to light that the defence of defendant Gina H. is now deliberately using – no blood spatters from Fabian were detected on the defendant's clothing.

The defence strategy is becoming more concrete: It questions several central pieces of circumstantial evidence presented by the prosecution and hints that Gina H. will make a statement in the coming trial days. This is a classic sign that the defence is planning an active counter-argument.

Evidence collection in focus

In addition to police officers, an expert in footprint evidence has also been called, which suggests that evidence collection at the crime scene plays a central role in the prosecution's case. When the judge showed photos from the crime scene, Gina H. held her hands in front of her face – a reaction that did not go unnoticed in the courtroom.

The Rostock Regional Court has now been hearing the violent crime against the child for a month. The prosecution must support its charges against the defendant with solid evidence. The missing blood traces on the clothing could be a weak point in the chain of evidence – this is precisely where the defence is focusing. In the coming days, further witnesses and experts are expected to complete the picture of the crime scene.
