Overview
- A 37-year-old witness told the court he was taken by the defendant to a pond on 13 October 2025 and that she said, “Here is something, that is him,” before he realised the body was Fabian’s.
- The defendant told police on 14 October 2025 that she had found the boy’s body by chance while walking her dog at the pond near Klein Upahl.
- Prosecutors allege Fabian died on 10 October 2025 after being stabbed six times and that the body was later set on fire, a timeline supported by the indictment and forensic findings.
- Court records showed intensive secret contact between the defendant and the witness in Sept–Oct 2025, with roughly 1,431 WhatsApp messages reported, and the defendant has been in pretrial detention since November 2025 while remaining silent at trial.
- The trial continues with additional witnesses expected on 16 and 18 June 2026 and investigators are also probing Fabian’s father for possible false testimony.
