Stock Photo - 20 January 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund: Presiding judge Thomas Kelm stands between plexiglass panes in the regional court to protect against infection. In the fall of 1993, a 16-year-old schoolgirl was strangled in Dortmund. The defendant was arrested in the summer of 2018. He is incriminated by DNA traces, but denies the crime. Because the proceedings were not resumed promptly, the accused was released from custody in July despite urgent suspicion of murder.
