Since Tuesday, two of the victim’s compatriots have been in custody: father (68) and son (27). The duo from Mainz (Rhineland-Palatinate) is being investigated for attempted manslaughter.
At the beginning of the week, according to the police, the two men showed up in the Stöcken district of Hanover around noon. They apparently ambushed the 27-year-old near his home in Ithstraße.
Armed with knives, they rushed towards the man and stabbed him in the street. They then fled in a car. With life-threatening wounds, among others in his upper body, the injured man was taken to a clinic and underwent surgery.
The next day, investigators arrested father and son in the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate. Alleged background for their crime: Shortly before, the 27-year-old is said to have separated from the daughter or sister of the accused.
