Deadly tattoo process: hygiene errors cause horror in Korbach!

A shocking case is currently being heard in the district court in Korbach, which surprises many. Under the title “Tattoo Process,” the central theme is the 22-year-old who died after a fatal bacterial infection. On the fourth day of the trial, two medical experts presented a shocking presentation of the course of the infection that cost the young man his life. The renowned infection specialist, Prof. Dr. Henning Breithaupt, prepared a concise report for the public prosecutor's office. According to his report, the deceased's inflammation level was dramatically elevated at 42,000, whereas a maximum of 200 would have been allowed.

The culprit in this case is the bacteria “Staphylococcus aureus”, which spread rapidly in the victim's body. Despite amputation of both lower legs, which was the only remaining rescue measure, the 22-year-old had no chance of survival. For various reasons, the body became hyperacidic, which led to organ failure, muscle breakdown, and numerous foci of inflammation. In his analysis, Prof. Breithaupt spoke of a “glaring hygienic error” during the tattoo application and criticized the repeated use of disposable gloves, which was viewed as problematic in this context.

Insights into the evidence

In addition, the forensic doctor Prof. Dr. Dr. Reinhard Dettmeyer showed microscope images of the destroyed tissue, which illustrated the dramatic effects of the infection. Meanwhile, the defendant, who plays a central role in the case, is described as someone who tried to shift the blame onto the injured party.

The defendant's biography is also remarkable. Born in Kazakhstan, he came to Germany at the age of 15. After graduating from secondary school, he worked in the catering industry and was temporarily unemployed before working as a bus driver in Bad Arolsen.

Outlook for the further course

The next days of negotiations promise to remain exciting. Another trial day will take place on November 10th, when the verdict in this shocking case is expected. Public attention is high and many hope for justice for the tragically deceased victim.
