Man Charged with Quadruple Murder in Solingen Arson Case

A 39-year-old former tenant faces charges for a deadly fire and machete attack in Germany.

  • The Wuppertaler prosecutor has charged a man with four counts of murder and eight counts of attempted murder following a March arson attack in Solingen.
  • The fire claimed the lives of a Bulgarian family, including parents aged 28 and 29 and their two young daughters.
  • Evidence against the suspect includes surveillance footage and remnants of an accelerant found at the scene.
  • The accused, previously evicted from the property, is also charged with a machete attack on a 44-year-old man, allegedly linked to a drug dispute.
  • Authorities have not found evidence of a racist motive, despite the incident evoking memories of a 1993 arson attack in Solingen.
