A father-of-eight accused of bludgeoning a German national to death with a statuette after a sexual encounter was linked to the 15-year-old crime when a DNA database match tied him to the crime scene. Former taxi driver Naji Fakhreddine, 68, is accused of murdering Bernd Lehmann inside his Sydney home after he was traced to the dead man through re-examined forensic evidence. Lehmann was killed in 2008 on the day he was to fly to Germany to take care of his elderly mother.
Traynor said his semen was also detected in the mouth of the dead man, while his DNA was traced on cigarettes found on a coffee table nearby. While she acknowledged the crown case was a circumstantial one, she urged jurors to consider the total weight of the evidence. The court heard a familial search of a DNA database in 2021 linked material from the crime scene to a profile for Fakhreddine’s son.
