Robbery in Ötigheim: Two men in court!

Ötigheim, Deutschland - In Baden-Württemberg, a robbery that took place last November causes a stir. From Tuesday, two men between the ages of 25 and 45 have to answer to the Baden-Baden district court. They are accused of having pretended to be a construction worker in order to gain access to a house in Ötigheim, under the pretext of repairing a damaged water pipe. This stitch led to a dramatic incident in which the victim was brutally beaten, kicked and tied up in the basement of the house. A weapon was also used, and the perpetrators let prey worth around 1,000 euros. The victim suffered several broken bones and had to be treated intensively medically, such as SWR reported.

The two defendants are largely confessed and are currently in custody. Four trial days are determined and the judgment is expected at the end of July.

The background of the robbery

A similar crime also caused turmoil in the region. A man was convicted at the Baden-Baden district court for a jewelry attack that happened almost seven years ago. The accused, then 24 years old, admitted at the beginning of the trial day. In an understanding, he was promised a sentence between five and a half and six and a half years in prison. The public prosecutor called for a sentence of six years and three months and the repayment of the damage caused, which was almost 200,000 euros. Much of it has so far been unable to find it. Ultimately, he was sentenced to six years in prison, which shows that the judiciary in Baden-Württemberg takes hard. The verdict is not yet final, it has the opportunity to appeal, such as [bnn] (https://bnn.de/mittelbaden/baden-baden/raubueberfall-in-baden-baden-schafts-zu-sechs- Year-Health).
