Terrible crime in Leipzig!
A 34-year-old man was so brutally beaten by two unknown perpetrators that he died two days later from his severe injuries.
“The investigations are now being continued because of a completed homicide,” said the public prosecutor’s office and the police on Friday evening.
According to investigators, the man was standing by a car on Hoyerstrasse in the Schleussig district on Wednesday at around 8:55 p.m. when two suspected young men approached him.
“After a short conversation, one of the two people is said to have suddenly physically attacked the 34-year-old. The two unknown persons then fled on foot in an unknown direction,” said a police spokeswoman.
The 34-year-old was first taken to a clinic. He finally succumbed to his injuries on Friday afternoon.
