Man hospitalized in psychiatric ward following two deadly knife attacks in Hanover

This person is considered mentally unstable and consequently judged to be mentally insane. The situation from the beginning was managed as a protective custody case, emphasizing his commitment to a psychiatric facility. It's claimed that the man violently stabbed two men in a gaming hall and in front of a hotel in Hanover within a 30-minute time span, which led to their demise.

Initially, he escaped but was apprehended shortly afterwards. The prosecutor's accounts at the time state that the suspect was briefly confined to a psychiatric institution due to "psychological oddities" once arrested. Two men, both 45 years old, were murdered in these unforeseen events. Furthermore, a witness who attempted to assist one of the victims in the gaming hall was also injured by stabs.
