Attempted murder and arson: arrest in Wendlingen!

In an incident in Wendlingen, a district of Reutlingen, there were severe allegations against a 31-year-old man who lives in a refugee accommodation. The suspicion is serious: on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, he is said to have led a fire in the building, which led to an indictment for attempted murder and attempted serious arson.

around 10:10 a.m., the police received an emergency call about an argument in the accommodation on Ötlinger Strasse. According to reports, a knife is said to have been used. The police temporarily arrested two Gambian men, 29 and 31 years old. Initial investigations indicate that there was a physical dispute between the two due to noise pollution, from which both of them emerge slightly injured. Whether a knife was actually used is currently being examined.

arson and threats

After the 31-year-old threatened to burn his opponent, he poured gasoline from a canister in front of the 29-year-old's room door and lit it. Fortunately, his counterpart was able to switch back into the room and was not injured. The fire was quickly deleted by other residents before the fire brigade arrived. The 29-year-old was later treated in the hospital and got away with outpatient injuries.

The situation escalated in such a way that the police decided to arrest both men first, while the exact circumstances of the argument continued to be examined. At the request of the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office, the 31-year-old man was brought before the judge on Thursday, October 17, 2024. This then issued an arrest warrant and ordered pre -trial detention.

The criminal police investigation are underway to clarify the exact processes of the tremendous incidents. Such cases in which violence and arson come together raise serious questions about security in refugee accommodation and can have far -reaching consequences for the people living there.
