CHA 22-year-old Swiss man appeared before the Solothurn-Lebern District Court to face murder charges after allegedly killing an unknown young woman in Bellach, Switzerland, in April 2023. According to prosecutors, he attacked the woman out of curiosity during his return journey home from a failed attempt to attend a party in Basel. The defendant followed the woman on her e-bike, struck her with his van, and then physically assaulted her before ultimately running her over, leading to her death. Prosecutors requested a life sentence, while the defense asked for 11 years in prison, both suspended in favor of institutional care. The accused did not explain his motives in court but admitted to drug use prior to the incident. Ten family members of the victim attended the trial, which was held at the Solothurn Higher Court due to organizational reasons.
