Overview
- The case targets Stephan S. and Lars M., who are accused of breaking into the Klipphausen home of the homicide defendant and stealing nearly €30,000 in cash, high‑end watches and keys to four luxury cars.
- Proceedings began at the Dresden district court but were adjourned to late May after defense complaints about limited access to files, with both defendants signaling they will confess at the next hearing.
- Investigators say DNA traces led to the arrests of the two men in late October 2025; a second reported break‑in has not been proven because traces at that scene were destroyed.
- Stephan S. remains in custody and faces an additional charge of dangerous bodily harm in an unrelated case, while Lars M. is working and must report regularly to police.
- Prosecutors also allege a separate mid‑August 2025 burglary netted 11 pistols and rifles intended for resale in Berlin, and they state the Klipphausen break‑ins are not relevant to the ongoing murder trial now nearing its conclusion.
