Murder trial in Stuttgart: Jealousy kills student teacher!

Murder trial in Stuttgart: Jealousy kills student teacher!

Today, July 14, 2025, a sensational trial began at the Stuttgart Regional Court. The focus is on a 33-year-old man who is charged with the murder of the 25-year-old student teacher and gym mate. Loud SWR The crime took place in Stuttgart-East in January 2023. The accused is said to have stabbed the student multiple times in the neck and face with a kitchen knife, which led to her immediate death.

The public prosecutor's office has discussed jealousy as the central motive for the murder. According to reports, the man sought contact with the student, but she refused. In a fateful twist, the rejection paid with a fatal attack. The suspect was waiting outside her apartment to attack the student as she stepped out of the building.

Investigations and prosecutions

The investigation was carried out by a special commission called Chalet after friends of the student alerted the police because they could not reach her. This case is just one of the latest in a worrying series of femicides in Germany. In May 2023, the public prosecutor finally brought charges against the accused after he made himself suspicious through contradictory statements during an initial questioning.

A comprehensive study on femicide by the Institute of Criminology at the University of Tübingen shows that killings of women often have gender-related motives, which are usually linked to male possessiveness and hatred of women. These claims are now supported by current cases like the one in Stuttgart. The study, which is funded by the German Research Foundation, highlights that femicide is an explosive issue in Germany that still receives little legal attention. The University of Tübingen summarizes that previous research has ignored this and calls for a more comprehensive consideration of the topic.

Incident in Bad Cannstatt

The worrying situation is underscored by recent incidents in the region, such as a homicide in Bad Cannstatt that occurred on April 14, 2022. Here, a 33-year-old died after an attack by several people in which shots and stabbings played a role. Police reports about the events on Rosenaustraße are also alarming. The special commission is intensively investigating the case, with similar recent incidents in the region not only worrying but also posing a real challenge for the security authorities. Information about the incident can be directed to the police on 07 11 / 89 90 – 57 78, they said Stuttgart News.

The social debate about femicide and the need for a legal reassessment to protect women and prevent such crimes is more complex than ever, and the Stuttgart case is likely to open another chapter in this much-needed discussion.
