During a family quarrel, Abdul I. (39) attacks his wife and mother with a knife and also injures two neighbours outside who come to their aid. When he approaches the police, he is shot dead. Now it is certain: five police shots hit Abdul I.!
On Tuesday evening around 9 p.m., neighbours had called the police because of the quarrel in Reichenberger Street. According to the family carer, the quarrel was triggered by a trivial matter: Abdul I. was supposed to go to the doctor because of sleeping problems – and apparently did not want to. He took a knife and stabbed.
His wife fled outside, where two neighbours rushed to her aid, who were also injured. In the meantime, residents had called the police. As Abdul I. ran towards the officers, the fatal shots were fired.
The post-mortem examination has now revealed that five of the shots hit the man! Four projectiles had gone through the arms and legs, a fifth shot had been deflected from the right upper arm into the chest.
It is not yet clear whether the shots were fired by one or more officers. The service weapons of the officers still have to be checked.
Several residents suspect that the police officers would not have shot if the perpetrator had been German, but now want to have the death examined by a lawyer for a racist motive.
