Blows from a Hammer: Man Details His Actions' Background - Hammering Death: Individual Discloses Events Leading Up to Fatal Incident
The defendant, a 74-year-old man, admitted to the brutal attack on his wife with a hammer during the initial stages of his trial at the Potsdam Regional Court. The man claimed he was determined to alleviate his wife's suffering, as she was battling an incurable form of leukemia.
Prosecutor's Case: Element of Premeditation
The prosecution argues that the man meticulously planned his wife's murder by using the cover of night to strike his sleeping wife multiple times in the face with a hammer in Trebbin, Teltow-Fläming district, resulting in her death.
The defense points out the couple's mutual decision to end their lives due to their shared despair.
Emotional Testimony
During the court proceedings, the defendant expressed his thoughts candidly, admitting to the crime but portraying his marriage as one built on love and respect. Despite their moments of conflict, they managed to find harmony.
The man remembers his wife as a towering figure, strong and unyielding. Despite his own health struggles, due to a 1999 car accident that left him disabled, he was reliant on his wife's support.
Leukemia had plagued his wife for a year, exhausting her after chemotherapy. She eventually lost all hope and refused further treatment. "She couldn't take it anymore," he stated, recounting her final wishes.
A Desperate Act
The couple discussied their suicide but lacked a concrete plan. On the day of the incident, his wife was on the brink of losing consciousness. Overwhelmed by her suffering, the man, in a fit of emotion, acted impulsively, striking her with something from the coffee table. "I didn't plan this," he said. "Maybe she was already gone."
Suicide attempt failed as the defendant, unable to stand after drinking excessively, reached for the landline and called for emergency services.
