Trial Begins in Braunschweig After Acid Attack Leaves Man BlindThu 9th Apr, 2026The regional court in Braunschweig has commenced proceedings against a 27-year-old woman from Lower Saxony, who stands accused of attempting to murder her husband with concentrated formic acid. The incident, which took place during a period of marital separation, resulted in the victim suffering severe chemical burns and permanent loss of vision. According to information presented by the prosecution, the accused allegedly planned the assault shortly after her husband expressed his intention to file for divorce. Once inside, she purportedly poured highly concentrated formic acid over his head and face from behind. The prosecution argues that the accused was aware of the potentially fatal consequences of her actions, citing evidence that she researched the effects of formic acid prior to the incident.
