Neighborhood dispute escalated: death by pitchfork in Heilbronn!

The attacker was later caught and confessed by the police, he wanted to kill the goal of his anger. The victim was brought to the Wels Clinic with minor injuries.

In another dramatic incident in Sachsenheim, Germany, a neighborhood dispute led to a fatal outcome.
