The trial of a Moroccan driver suspected of killing a hitchhiker to open this week in Germany

The trial of the Moroccan truck driver suspected of killing Sophia, a 28-year-old student he drove in the summer of 2018, to open this week in Bayreuth. The family of the victim wants to know the whole story behind the death of their daughter, after her dead body was discovered in Spain.

The trial will include twelve hearings, during which 17 witnesses will be heard, according to Idowa. In the meantime, the defendant has addmitted that he committed the murder.

For the record, the forty-year-old Moroccan man was arrested in June, 2018, in Spain for being allegedly involved in a German student’s disappearance.

The victim is an activist from Ambert, a city in southern Germany. She had left her house in Leipzig to visit her family. Instead of taking the bus she preferred to hitchhike.

She found a truck driver who agreed to drive her home. According to the police, it is the same blue and white Renault truck the Moroccan national was driving. The suspect was on his way to Morocco when he was arrested by the police.
