Four men are on trial in Bonn, Germany after allegedly beating a man to death during an improvised, alcohol-fueled "refugee hunt," local media reports.
The four defendants, aged 19, 20, 21 and 35, were drinking together in Waldbröl, North Rhine-Westphalia in September 2016, when they allegedly heard claims that a young woman was being harassed by refugees,
WDR reports. Armed with a baseball bat and knuckle dusters, they set out looking for migrants in the area.
"The prosecution assumes that their primary objective was to go out into Waldbröl and pick a fight with refugees," a spokesperson for the Bonn district court told DPA.
The group found several asylum seekers and beat one, although the man managed to escape without any serious injuries. They then came across their second victim, 40-year-old Klaus B., in a parking lot. Originally from Kazakhstan, Klaus B. had also been drinking and had reportedly been involved in some kind of dispute with the men a few days earlier.
