Murder Trial for Kenyan Lady in Ebersdorf Extended

The murder trail involving a Kenyan lady accused of colluding with her ex-lover to have her husband killed has been extended further, with the judgment expected much later.

Susan A. and her ex-boyfriend, Jan D. are still in police custody after their trial that was set to end on 28th August has been extended, with five additional court days added.

The past three court days in August were quite uneventful unlike those in June and July (READ: Court Process for Kenyan Accused of Murder in Ebersdorf Continues). These past days had more of Jan D.’s friends and relatives come in as witnesses and continue testifying of Jan’s innocence. Many of whom agreed that it must have been Susan’s plan and Jan was helplessly in-love thus explaining his “temporary insanity” and alleged attempts to kill Karl-Ekkehart A. since 2013.

Susan A. on 21st August maintained her position that she and her late husband, Karl-Ekkehart A., were attacked in their home by three masked men. On being asked about Jan D.’s accusations, she said, “I never planned to kill him [her husband]. We never spoke about it [the murder]”.
