The third day of the trial of a 39-year-old man from Latvia started on Thursday at the Waldshut-Tiengen (D) Regional Court. Among those interviewed is the man who found the dead wild camper.
The deceased 31-year-old man from the canton of St. Gallen was found on the banks of the Rhine near Jestetten on Friday, June 9 this year. He was found by a pensioner from neighboring Neuhausen SH who wanted to go swimming in the Rhine with a colleague.
“The man was lying on his stomach on the dike, with his feet in the Rhine and his arm stretched upwards,” said the visibly shocked witness on Thursday morning during his interrogation before the regional court in Waldshut (D). He saw a gaping wound on the victim’s head and immediately thought he was probably dead. His colleague then alerted the emergency services.
The court will hear more witnesses today. However, the planned meeting with the forensic doctor had to be postponed due to illness. (saw/sda)
