Murder trial in Darmstadt: retrial ordered for Bangladeshi woman
A Bangladeshi woman who was convicted of murdering her husband in Darmstadt, Germany, has been ordered for a retrial by the country's Federal Court of Justice. The woman was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2025 by the Regional Court of Darmstadt. The Federal Court of Justice identified errors in how the evidence was evaluated during the original trial. Notably, it was the prosecution—not the defense—that filed the appeal that led to this decision. The date and court assignment for the new trial have not yet been announced.
