In the wake of the knife attack in Oggersheim, new details about the suspected double murderer have leaked out. According to these, the 25-year-old had already stabbed a man in 2021.
Even two weeks after the brutal knife attack in Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim leaving two dead, the shock still runs deep in the population and especially among the victims’ relatives! Now new alarming details have come to light about the suspected perpetrator ( aged 25), who is in custody for two counts of murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm.
The young Somali is alleged to have killed two workmen ( aged 20/35) at two crime scenes in the area of Philipp-Scheidemann-Straße/Comeniusstraße on October 18 at around 12:20 a.m. and to have seriously injured a 27-year-old man with a knife in a Rossmann drugstore.
This is not the first time that the 25-year-old accused has stabbed! Already in May 2021, he attacked and injured another man with a screwdriver. However, his proceedings for bodily harm before the Neustadt district court have initially been discontinued under conditions, as reported by public broadcaster SWR.
In addition, the Somali man with a police record, who arrived in Germany as a recognised refugee in 2015 and most recently lived in a shelter in Neustadt, apparently did not complete the community service hours imposed on him. According to a court spokeswoman, he thus violated the court’s conditions.
Remarkably, his retrial had been scheduled for Thursday ( October 20) or Friday ( October 21) two to three days after the knife attack in Oggersheim. However, as is well known, this did not happen because the 25-year-old had to be neutralised by a police officer with four shots from his service weapon while still in the Rossmann shop and lay under guard in hospital for days.
