Nabburg Man Held in Pretrial Detention in Probe of Alleged Attempted Killing

Police ordered an initial clinical evaluation over suspected drug intoxication during a psychological crisis.

Overview

  • Late Sunday in Nabburg, a 26-year-old allegedly forced his father to consume drugs, doused his landlady with a flammable liquid, and threatened her with a lighter.
  • The father escaped by jumping from a first-floor window and was uninjured, while the landlady suffered minor injuries after both were reportedly held in the apartment.
  • Responding officers say the man insulted and threatened them and resisted arrest before being taken into custody.
  • On October 14, a judge at the Amberg district court issued an arrest warrant, and the suspect is now in pretrial detention as Kriminalpolizei Amberg investigates an attempted killing.
  • Police cite longstanding disputes as a possible motive, note the suspect holds German and Thai citizenship, and confirm he was first taken to a clinic for evaluation.
