Expert witness testifies in Slovak student kidnapping case, trial adjourned to August

A court hearing in the kidnapping case of student Sona featured testimony from an expert witness via video link before being adjourned until new dates in July and August. The defendant faces charges of rape and restricting personal freedom in connection with the abduction and intoxication of the university student. The case has returned to active proceedings following an intervention by Slovakia's Constitutional Court, the country's highest court for constitutional matters, which apparently led to the resumption of judicial proceedings that had previously been stalled.
