On Tuesday morning, a nurse found a 60-year-old man dead in his apartment. The police are investigating it. In a very short time it became clear: a total of five people were dead.
Five family members were found dead in Baden-Württemberg. As announced by the Tübingen prosecutor’s office and Reutlingen police headquarters, the discovery began on Tuesday morning in Reutlingen. A nurse found a 60-year-old man dead in his apartment. According to police, suspicion immediately fell on the dead woman’s 63-year-old brother.
Not long after, special police forces wanted to search the house of the man and his wife in Pfullingen, but when they entered the house they found the 63-year-old man and the 57-year-old man also dead. Both suffered gunshot wounds. The weapon allegedly used lay next to them.
Officers then made the next discovery while searching the 63-year-old man’s business in St. Louis. Johann: The man’s two sons, aged 27 and 29, were also killed. They also suffered gunshot wounds.
The Tübingen prosecutor’s office and the Esslingen criminal police department are now investigating suspicions of a murder within the family and the alleged subsequent suicide. The 63 year old suspected perpetrator is a hunter. Whether he legally owned the gun found next to him and his wife is under investigation.
