A 36-year-old man from the canton of Lucerne is accused of killing his partner with 65 stab wounds in 2021. At the beginning of the trial before the criminal court on Monday, the defense attorney requested that the interrogations of the accused from 2021 be declared inadmissible due to the accused's Long-Covid illness, which was found to have a hypermetabolism. This condition could lead to memory problems and cognitive impairments, the defense attorney said. The prosecution argued that the accused was always oriented during the interrogations and that the defense had only recently claimed impairment, which should be considered "calculated". Before the court decides on the request, the judges will question the accused. In summary, a 36-year-old man from Lucerne is on trial for killing his partner with 65 stab wounds in 2021.
