Bernd Lehmann was killed in 2008, on the day he intended to travel to Germany to care for his mother. A DNA breakthrough caught his alleged killer more than a decade later.
The brutal bludgeoning and stabbing of a man in Sydney’s inner west was cracked open by police more than a decade after the murder when the DNA of the alleged killer’s son was found in a database, a court has been told.
A blood-covered statue of a woman was found near his body, while the statue’s head was in a different room and two knives were missing from the kitchen. A large stab wound was found on the back of his neck and he suffered significant blunt-force head trauma. Traynor said the bloodied fingerprint suggested Fakhreddine had blood on his hands when he picked up the statue and bludgeoned Lehmann. She said blood spatter showed Lehmann was then hit an additional time.
