After a violent crime in Albstadt, two bodies are to be autopsied on Thursday. The 52-year-old suspect is due to appear before the magistrate later today, a police spokeswoman said.
The man is said to have killed a 20-year-old relative and buried her in his garden. On the other hand, the investigators accuse him of having shot a 23-year-old several times on Wednesday in the center of Albstadt (Zollernalbkreis). The man died a little later in the hospital.
Investigator: All three involved knew each other
Police say the motive for the crimes is still unclear. “The accused makes use of his right to refuse to testify,” said the spokeswoman. “There is little knowledge of the exact course of events.” All three involved knew each other, according to the investigators. They are Italians, the woman also has German citizenship.
Police arrested the suspect near his home shortly after the shooting. He gave the clue to the buried body. A pistol was also found on him.
