Death in Kerpen-Sindorf: Investigations after violent incident

29-year-old found dead-Murder Commission determined

Cologne -

In a tragic turn of events, a 29-year-old Syrian refugee was found dead in Kerpen-Sindorf (Rhein-Erft-Kreis) on Sunday, April 13th. The security service of a municipal accommodation facility discovered the body in a residential container on the Bruchhöhe street. Already at the first assessment, signs of violence were found, which caused the alarmed police forces to secure the crime scene and collect relevant evidence.

The homicide commission of the Cologne criminal police then started the investigation. It is important to the responsible public prosecutor in Cologne to clarify the exact circumstances of death. An autopsy of the body was arranged to obtain more information about the injuries and to determine possible causes of death.

The investigative commission is looking for witnesses who may have information about the dispute or the last hours of the victim. In the past, there have been repeated conflicts in various facilities in which refugees are housed, which sometimes converted into violence. Understanding the social dynamics in these dormitories is crucial to prevent such incidents and to ensure the safety of the residents.

The investigation has not yet been completed, and it is expected that the public will be informed about new developments in the coming days. The tragedy raises important questions about the living conditions of refugees in Germany and may require further support measures as well as an intensive social discussion with the topic.
