Today, the second day of the trial against a man accused of murdering his girlfriend began at the Lucerne Criminal Court. The prosecution described the accused's behaviour and "total lack of empathy" after the crime as cruel. He allegedly inflicted around 65 knife wounds on his partner's body, cleaned the apartment and the murder weapon, and packed the victim's body into a cardboard box. Two days later, he responded to the concerned messages of the victim's relatives, saying she had been taken to the airport that morning. The prosecution emphasised that the accused had consistently discredited his partner throughout the investigation, while presenting himself in a positive light. After the prosecution's plea, the defence's plea will follow. The trial is expected to last until Tuesday evening.
