In the courts
- A 31-year-old man died after police said he was pushed down concrete stairs in an apartment building in Randers.
- A 26-year-old man faces a serious assault charge and has been held in a forensic psychiatric unit until Sept. 28.
- The court ordered custody behind closed doors after finding a risk that the suspect could influence witnesses.
A 31-year-old man has died from injuries suffered when he was pushed down a concrete staircase in an apartment building in Randers, East Jutland Police told Randers Amtsavis.
The man died Saturday, two days after police said he was unlikely to survive. Prosecutors accuse a 26-year-old man of pushing him with both hands in the chest, causing him to fall onto a landing. He suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain.
The 26-year-old appeared in a preliminary custody hearing on Friday and was detained in a forensic psychiatric facility until Sept. 28. The charge is aggravated assault under particularly serious circumstances. Custody in such a facility means he is not being held in an ordinary jail.
The court reportedly concluded that he might influence witnesses if released. The hearing took place behind closed doors, preventing the public from hearing further details about the evidence.
