A father allegedly attempted to kill his daughter with mouse poison. In the court, his defense attorney disputes the accusation. As the State Prosecutor's Office sees the case.
A 28-year-old is facing attempted murder charges against his 3-year-old daughter with mouse poison in the Landshut District Court. At the start of the trial, the defendant's lawyer declared that the accusation would be rejected in its entirety.
In the view of the prosecutor's office, the accused father wanted to avoid support payments for the daughter through the planned murder. "He uninhibitedly and ruthlessly sought profit at any price, including a human life," states the indictment, which accuses the man of greed and treachery.
Girl reportedly swallowed the seal with poison
According to the prosecutors, the man, who was separated from the child's mother, had planned the crime for at least a month at the end of 2024. He allegedly considered different options for the murder.
The father then allegedly put a plastic seal filled with aluminum phosphide in the child's mouth. The substance is an over-the-counter poison to control mice.
Did the father try to pin the attempted murder on the mother?
The prosecution believes that the accused Afghan wanted to pin the blame for the crime on the mother. Therefore, he turned the daughter over to the mother after she had swallowed the poison seal and was still alive. According to the indictment, the child then vomited the seal in the presence of the mother. The police later confiscated the poison package.
The child was immediately taken to the children's hospital. She survived the alleged attack without further health consequences.
Several more days are scheduled for the trial. The verdict is expected at the beginning of November.
