Germany Confronts Spate of Violence and Reckless Driving as Probes Intensify

Police escalate parallel homicide, manhunt and traffic-crime probes following the Schrobenhausen child’s stabilization.

Overview

  • In Schrobenhausen, a 12-year-old struck and hurled about 40 meters by a speeding car was operated on and is out of immediate danger, as investigators hunt a very light-colored SUV or estate with likely front-end damage and deploy DEKRA experts to reconstruct the crash.
  • In Neumünster, a 24-year-old died after being found severely injured; a 26-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene, a firearm was secured, two initially detained people were released, and an autopsy and judicial presentation are pending.
  • In Hamm, unknown attackers fired at a multi-family building, seriously injuring two men; one who was initially in life-threatening condition has stabilized, suspects remain at large, and a murder commission is investigating.
  • Rhineland-Palatinate police issued a photo manhunt for 20-year-old Bartosz Kwiecinski over a knife attack in Kinderbeuern, advise the public not to approach him, and trace a black Ford Fiesta with plate WIL-B 1011, with a reward of 5,000 euros offered for tips.
  • Traffic-crime probes include an alleged illegal race on the A95 involving Israeli tourists in a Porsche and a BMW, with felony race charges initiated, and separate incidents such as a 200 km/h drug-impaired A5 pursuit and a Bielefeld crash tied to suspected cocaine use.
