Murder in Duisburg: Police arrest father and son! What happened?
A cruel incident shocked Duisburg: On Friday evening, June 13th, a worried man reported to the police that he had not been able to reach his 42-year-old friend for several days. The officials of the Duisburg police responded immediately and checked the man's apartment in an apartment building on Angerhauser Strasse, on the corner of Mündelheimer Strasse.
At 8:30 p.m. no one answered the door, so the police gained access to the apartment. What they found there was shocking: the 42-year-old resident was lying dead in his apartment. An emergency doctor who was quickly called in found that the man had injuries that indicated physical violence. This led to the suspicion of a homicide, and the Duisburg public prosecutor's office set up a murder squad. The Duisburg system was set in motion.
Arrests and investigations
On Monday evening, June 30th, a 22-year-old from Duisburg was arrested. The public prosecutor's office issued an arrest warrant for murder against him on Tuesday.

He was located after a public appeal by the police and finally arrested without resistance in an apartment in Huckingen. The arrest warrant for incitement to murder was announced to him by the judge at the Duisburg district court.
