Melech 9,900 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 German investigators have revealed that a popular regional political leader found dead in his garden was killed by a bullet fired at close range. They have launched a criminal inquiry into the death of Walter Lübcke, the 65-year-old head of the regional council in the city of Kassel. Suicide has been ruled out but police say they have no motive. "We are deeply shocked by the sudden death of our friend," said Hesse state premier Volker Bouffier. Lübcke's body was found at 00:30 on Sunday morning (22:30 GMT Saturday) on the terrace of his home in the village of Istha, police revealed. He was declared dead two hours later and leaves a wife and two grown-up children. e still have no clues about perpetrators and above all no motive either," said crime bureau chief Sabine Thurau. Prosecutors declined to give much more information but they did say the weapon used in the killing was a short-range firearm aimed at the victim's head. Lübcke was a leading local member of Mr Bouffier's ruling centre-right CDU in the central German state, running the authority in one of Hesse's three regional areas for the past decade. He came to national prominence in October 2015 when he spoke out in favour of providing accommodation for refugees. Germany had decided to let in Syrians fleeing the civil war, and big numbers of asylum seekers were crossing Germany's borders on a daily basis. He reportedly received death threats and was given personal protection after telling a rowdy town hall meeting they had to stand up for Christian values. "Whoever does not support these values can leave this country any time, if he doesn't agree. This is the freedom of every German," he said https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-48496972 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monster4life231 4,304 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 This is awful. I don't understand why people would do that. If you disagree with their ideas that much the easiest thing to do is block them out of your life, there's no reason to shoot them dead. It seems as though acts of extreme violence like this are on the rise. spread peace - #MJInnocent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally depends on time and context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
