In Berlin wurde ein 76-jähriger Arzt bei einem Überfall getötet. Die Mordkommission ermittelt. Der Arzt, bekannt als "Schwurbelarzt", starb trotz Reanimationsversuchen. Die Obduktion bestätigt, dass es kein natürlicher Tod war. Die wahrscheinlichste Todesursache sei Ersticken. Kurz zuvor stand er vor Gericht wegen Beleidigung des Ex-Wirtschaftsministers Habeck. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen Prozess und Tod des Arztes liegt bisher nicht vor.
