The man’s sister was seriously injured on Tuesday evening, as the police and public prosecutor’s office jointly announced on Wednesday. The suspect was arrested. The background to the violent act in Baden-Württemberg initially remained open.
The Waldshut-Tiengen public prosecutor’s office applied to the local district court for an arrest warrant against the suspect, a spokeswoman reported on request. A decision from the court is expected later in the day. According to investigators, the young man with German and Italian citizenship is accused of three counts of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter. Investigators did not comment in detail on where the bloody attack took place. They spoke of an “eastern district community in the Waldshut district”.
Parents died at the scene
According to investigators, the parents, aged 58 and 61, died at the scene after the alleged attack. The family lived in an apartment building. “The suspect’s 34-year-old brother died in the hospital as a result of his injuries despite resuscitation measures,” reported the police and public prosecutor’s office. The 19-year-old’s sister also suffered serious stab wounds. She was taken to a clinic in a rescue helicopter. Her injuries were not life-threatening.
In the statement, the investigators spoke of a stabbing weapon; upon request, a police spokesman specified that the suspected murder weapon was a knife. The Waldshut-Tiengen public prosecutor’s office and the Waldshut-Tiengen Criminal Police Office are involved in the ongoing investigation.
Terrible discovery in the Black Forest
In another criminal case, a 27-year-old made a terrible discovery about two months ago in Villingen-Schwenningen in the southern Black Forest. He found his parents and his brother dead in his parents’ house. According to investigators at the time, the bodies all had stab wounds. Further investigations confirmed the suspicion that the 32-year-old son first killed his parents and then himself.
