- Prosecutors and the co-plaintiff’s counsel seek life imprisonment for murder by stealth and a finding of particularly serious guilt.
- If particularly serious guilt is found, release after 15 years would generally be ruled out, prosecutors said.
- According to Nowack, Gina H. allegedly took Fabian from Güstrow to a field near Klein Upahl on October 10, 2025, and killed him.
- The defense considers the circumstantial evidence incomplete; the weapon has not been found, and it is unclear how Gina H. knew Fabian was home alone.
“I am certain that the defendant picked the boy up from his home in Güstrow on October 10, drove with him to this field near Klein Upahl, stabbed him there, and set his body on fire.”— Senior public prosecutor Harald Nowack, during his closing argument in the murder trial concerning Fabian; he was describing the crime the prosecution alleges the defendant committed.
