Crime - Police are looking for an attacker at the Volkshochschule with a pocket knife
After the stabbing attack on a professor at a Volkshochschule in Wedel near Hamburg, the police searched the area around the crime scene to find additional evidence. "Between 9.00 and 12.00 hours, officers searched the crime scene area with police dogs and technical equipment. The focus was primarily on the murder weapon," said a police spokeswoman to the German Press Agency (dpa). However, it was not found. The investigators hope to find crucial evidence for the perpetration.
Victim not in danger
Four brothers, who were initially arrested and are now back on the loose, are considered suspects. Against the Syrian brothers aged 17, 19, and 21, there was no pressing suspicion that would have justified a warrant for their arrest, said a spokeswoman for the Itzehoe Police Department to dpa. However, they are still the focus of the investigation.
The 67-year-old music professor from Tornesch (Pinneberg district) was reportedly stabbed several times by two men on the Volkshochschule Wedel car park on a Friday afternoon. He is not in danger.
Background of the crime still unclear
The four brothers were arrested in Wedel shortly after the crime. The background of the crime and the relationship between the perpetrators and the victim, the spokeswoman could not yet say.
The crime scene was located in the Volkshochschule in Wedel, which is situated in the state of Hamburg. The brothers, suspected of the stabbing attack, hail from Schleswig-Holstein. The incident has garnered significant attention in the German press, with news agencies like the German Press Agency (dpa) providing updates on the ongoing investigation. Despite extensive searches at the crime scene, the murder weapon, known as Messerstrike, has yet to be found. The police are still hopeful of discovering crucial evidence to aid in the investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
