In October 2021, the then 27-year-old Tibetan man shot his ex-girlfriend, who was also Tibetan, twice in the head with a pistol in Netstal. In court, he spoke of an accident.
It was incomprehensible why the official defense lawyer demanded that her client be convicted of murder, the court wrote in the statement. Other possibilities, in particular a conviction for involuntary manslaughter, were not even put forward by the public defender as a contingency.
The court will therefore dismiss the lawyer as the official legal representative of the accused. After the decision becomes final, it will assign the accused a new defense and repeat the main hearing.
