A month after triple murder: Is there any suspected perpetrator?

Around a month After the crime in Weitefeld in the Westerwald It is unclear whether the alleged triple killer is still alive. The police could not rule out that the suspect was lifeless somewhere, said the police spokesman. « But of course it is also determined in the other directions. »

The police are regularly in Weitefeld without major search measures. « We still have our face strips up there, » he said. However, a larger campaign is currently not due.

More than 1,700 information received

Around 1,770 information was received, said the police spokesman. However, there are no longer so many that is not surprising.

There are still flowers and candles in front of the house more than four weeks after the crime. The garage and the front door are still sealed.

What is behind the crime?

The act was a month ago on Tuesday. On April 6, the police found a dead family in a house in Weitefeld. The couple and their 16 -year -old son were killed. The suspect is a 61 -year -old man from a neighboring town. Since the act, there has been no trace of him, despite more extensive searches and a public search for the crevice.

It is still unclear how the act came about. « According to the previous state of the investigation, there are still no viable indications for a perpetrator-victim relationship or a concrete motive, » said the Koblenz public prosecutor.

Why the perpetrator « may have been on the road at night and what could have driven him », one could not provide any information about that yet. « In any case, it cannot be ruled out that there was a random meeting between the perpetrator and one of the victims who then escalated and got out of control and resulted in this terrible act. »
