French father tried for pursuing daughter's killer

PARIS (AP) — A 76-year-old Frenchman has gone on trial for taking justice into his own hands after a decades-long mission to avenge his daughter’s death.

Andre Bamberski is accused of ordering the kidnapping five years ago in Germany of retired doctor Dieter Krombach, who was tied up and dumped near a French courthouse to face charges in the 1982 death of Bamberski’s 15-year-old daughter, Kalinka. Krombach was the girl’s stepfather.
