The Warsaw District Court today began considering the case of 23-year-old Dorian S., who is accused of raping and murdering Belarusian Lizaveta Herzen. Belsat correspondents reported on enhanced security measures. The police did not rule out provocations and attempts to attack the alleged murderer.
Since there is a lot of interest in the process, there were a lot of media in front of the courtroom.
The trial began amid heightened security measures. The police say they do not rule out provocations and attempts to attack the accused.
The court will hear the accused and witnesses today, and a psychiatrist and a sexologist at the next meeting on December 16.
Unofficially, Wyborcza learned that Lizaveta’s relatives wanted the court to be open, but the defendant’s lawyer filed a motion to close the trial. Only the verdict can be made public.
A 25-year-old Belarusian woman was raped in the center of Warsaw on the night of February 25. According to preliminary data, the attacker put a knife to the girl’s throat, raped her, strangled her and threw her unconscious. Polish doctors fought for the Belarusian woman’s life for six days, but they could not save her: on March 1, Lisa died in intensive care.
