Borussia Dortmund bus bombing suspect 'did not intend to kill'

8 January 2018

A man on trial over the bombing of the Borussia Dortmund football team bus last year has admitted he detonated explosives along its route.

Sergei W, 28, told a court in Dortmund that he had not intended to kill anyone. He is a German of Russian origin. His full name was not revealed.

The attack left a defender, Marc Bartra, with a fractured wrist and a police officer with hearing loss.

Prosecutors believe Sergei W gambled on the team's share price plunging.

He has been charged with 28 counts of attempted murder, which he denies. But he told the court: "I deeply regret my behaviour". He went on trial on 21 December.
