Emergencies - Explosion in Solingen: Identity of one victim still unknown

After the explosion in Solingen resulting in one fatality and four injured, a 25-member murder commission and the prosecutor's office are investigating a attempted murder case. The identity of the deceased suspect was initially unclear, according to further statements from the police.

The police believe that the man dropped a bottle with an as-yet undetermined substance on the pavement on a Tuesday. Upon breaking of the bottle, there was reportedly an explosion. The man was flown to a specialist clinic with severe injuries and died there a few hours later.
