Trial begins over daylight killing of woman shot eight times

A 63-year-old man is charged with murdering his former partner and repeatedly violating a restraining order against her, DR reports.

The 47-year-old woman was killed on a street in Brønshøj at about 1.10pm last year. Police say her former partner fired the fatal shots. He is accused of shooting her eight times in the head.

The trial is due to begin at 9.30am at Frederiksberg District Court. It is not known how the defendant will respond to the charges; at a court hearing last year, he denied guilt.
