Second witness says accused visited Fabian's body the night before reporting it; recorded call reveals alibi deal

Second witness recounts night visit

Olaf K. testified that Gina H. called him on the evening of 13 October 2025 and asked him to drive her to a pond near Klein Upahl. The pair arrived close to midnight, he said, and saw the boy's body.

“That is 100 percent Fabian.”

The accused showed no emotion and later laughed on the drive back, telling him she could no longer cry and the feeling often flipped into laughter. She remarked that the body had been burned or set on fire. When she proposed alerting the police, the witness replied,

“What do you want to tell the police? Nobody will believe us.”

They spent about a minute at the site and only discussed the matter the next morning.

A prior visit the same evening

The day before, another witness had already told the court he was at the pond with Gina H. earlier that same night. The 37-year-old felt she had deliberately led him there.

“She used him to leave his traces at the pond.”

He stressed he was not commenting on her guilt or innocence, but the account reinforced the timeline of multiple unreported visits before the official discovery.

Alibi coordination on tape

The trial also heard a recorded phone call from 21 October 2025 in which Gina H. and the second witness discussed aligning their stories for 10 October, the day Fabian died. In the recording, the accused expressed fear of being arrested if the witness told police anything that did not match. The call was played in a packed courtroom as prosecutors work to show the accused attempted to cover her actions.

Mother leaves courtroom

Fabian's mother Dorina L. left the courtroom while the body discovery was being described, accompanied by psychological support staff, according to Bild. The scene underscored the emotional weight of the testimony for the victim's family.

Charges and trial status

Gina H. faces a charge of treacherous murder. Prosecutors allege she lured Fabian from his home in Güstrow, stabbed him six times and set his body alight. They suspect she believed the boy stood in the way of rekindling her relationship with his father, from whom she had separated in August 2025. She has been in custody since 7 November 2025 and has not spoken during the trial, which began in April and is expected to last into September. The presumption of innocence applies.
