A small town in western Germany is reeling after three people were found dead in a house. The police are now hunting for a suspect who fled the scene.
On Sunday, April 7, 2024, a police spokesperson told local media that officers received an emergency call at 3:45 am. When they arrived, the suspect had already escaped. The police are warning people in the area to stay inside and not to pick up hitchhikers.
Special forces have been sent to the scene, and at least one helicopter is being used to search for the suspect. The victims, two men and one woman, were found in a family home. The police have not confirmed if any children were among the dead.
The mayor of the town, Karl-Heinz Kesler, said he never thought such a thing would happen in his community. He knows the people in the village well and said the house where the incident occurred was home to a woman, a man, and a young adult.
The police are still searching for the suspect and are asking for the public’s help. The incident has shaken the small town, and people are in shock.
