Potsdam's Latest Updates: Stay Informed - Security guard fatally attacked: Suspect remains unresponsive
Over seven days have passed since a serious assault on a safety officer at a migrant center in Potsdam left them mortally wounded. Alexander Neuling, a representative for the local Public Prosecutor's Office, didn't provide any new information on the case last Friday. "No developments have been announced so far," he said. "The investigation is still ongoing." To protect the integrity of the investigation and respect the rights of those involved, the Prosecutor's Office has declined to give further details.
At a refugee shelter in Potsdam, a migrant from Syria was left seriously injured after being attacked by an unknown assailant last Thursday. He later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. The incident prompted a massive search for the culprit. A government employee spotted the suspect - a South African citizen with a transgender identity - at Alexanderplatz in Berlin and alerted Federal Police, who took her into custody near the Zoological Garden train station. Since Thursday, she has been held in prison on charges of murder.
A transgender person refers to someone who doesn't identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.
