Violence - After the murder in Herrsching: Forest searched
After the violent death of a 74-year-old in Herrsching at Ammersee, the police searched a nearby wooded area with hundreds of officers. During the operation on a Wednesday, a 120-member unit of the Dachau Readiness Police was involved, according to the police. "Relevant procedural items" were found, the police reported. These cannot be named at the current stage of investigations. So far, over 80, mostly valuable tips from the population have been evaluated by the police.
According to previous knowledge, the alleged perpetrator is said to have approached and killed the pensioner in a single-family house in the Mühlfeld district last week. The victim's wife was able to escape to a neighbor, who alerted the Police. The alleged perpetrator is said to have fled at the time. The police found the body of the 74-year-old in the house.
The police have recently released photos of a suspect to the public. According to previous knowledge, the man had already spent several hours in Herrsching before the incident, it was said.
