Stock Photo - 19 May 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia, Kleve: The defendant is led by court officials to the courtroom in the district court for the start of the trial for taking hostages after a spectacular escape from a forensic hospital in Bedburg-Hau. Two addicted patients had escaped in mid-May 2020 after threatening a male nurse with a knife. They had driven to Aachen in the caretaker's car. There, one of the two was shot dead by police after also threatening a woman with a knife in a children's playground. The other man - now 44 - is on trial.
