BOLZANO. The trial for manslaughter against will take place under the abbreviated procedure Alexander Gruberthe 55-year-old caretaker accused of his partner’s death Sigrid Groebera 39-year-old waitress who was beaten to death and found dying on the night of 19 February 2023 in Merano on the stairs of the man’s service apartment.
This morning (8 May) the pm Axel Bisignano modified the charge by removing those to the ribs from the list of fractures caused by the beating, as they could have been caused by the rescuers’ maneuvers.
The Corte of Assize ha granted the defense’s request of access to the abbreviated procedure conditional on one expert opinion on the consequences of alcohol abuse on their client, and at the hearing of Maria Elisa Bigarelli, the doctor of the Bolzano prison where he is locked up. The Court also decided to appoint a second expert to clarify the issues contributing factors that would have resulted in the woman’s death (previous pathologies and exposure to cold).
However, the civil party’s request to admit a brief relating to the 8-month sentence for injuries (without parole) against Gröber, which Gruber settled this morning, was rejected. Next hearing on May 24th.
