Tenancy dispute escalates: two deaths and fire in Esslingen's old town!
In a shocking incident in Esslingen's old town on Thursday, a deadly argument broke out that ended in gunfire and a devastating fire. A 61-year-old tenant is said to have shot his landlord and his son with a homemade gun before taking his own life. Police confirmed that the man did not have a firearms license, which only adds to the tragedy of the situation.
The gruesome details emerged when the two bodies were discovered in the badly damaged building on Thursday morning. The tenant, who was apparently in an escalating conflict with his landlord, not only fired the shots, but also started a fire that largely destroyed the house. Fortunately, other residents, including the homeowner, survived, although some were seriously injured.
Cause of the conflict
The police determined that the dispute over rental matters was the trigger for this tragedy. The perpetrator's rental agreement had already been terminated and eviction was imminent. These tense conditions led to a disastrous conflict that ended in a bloodbath. Neighbors report frequent arguments between the tenant and the landlord, which have now culminated in a catastrophe.
