In the North Hessian city of Kassel, a serious incident occurred on Friday evening. Around 10:30 p.m. there was an attempted homicide in Jägerstrasse, which the police and the public prosecutor called on the scene. A 24-year-old man who was previously undetected was arrested at the scene. He has Syrian citizenship and is now suspected of having injured a 29-year-old man and a 30-year-old man with dangerous objects.

The arrested 24-year-old was brought before a judge the following weekend who ordered the pre-trial detention. The man is now in a correctional facility. The condition of the two injuries has now improved, but the exact circumstances of the incident are not yet completely clear.

Details of the incident

The 29-year-old had to be operated on after the attack, but is no longer in mortal danger. The 30-year-old also received cutting and stab wounds, but was released as out of life at the weekend. Surprisingly, the exact object that caused the injuries remains unknown. This raises questions about the accuracy of the investigation that is already in full.

What complicates the situation is the fact that there is apparently an existing dispute between the participants behind this incident. Commissioner 11 of the Kassel criminal police has taken over the investigation and is looking for other people involved in the crash. The background of the dispute and which conflicts may have preceded it is an important direction for the ongoing investigation.

Police spokesman Matthias Mänz and Dr. Stephan Schwirzer from the Kassel public prosecutor is responsible for communication and are available for questions. This is to ensure that the public remains informed about the progress of the investigation.

The events in Jägerstraße not only raise questions about security in the region, but also illustrate the need to better understand and solve conflicts that exist in society. The hopes are now on a quick clarification of the background, since further complications are to be avoided.

For residents and passers -by, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what measures are taken by the investigative authorities to prevent such incidents in the future.
