Saarland Police arrested a 32-year-old man a few hours ago as a suspect in the murder of two police officers who, as part of a regular patrol, carried out a search on a vehicle which, as it was found, was transporting illegal prey.
Earlier, in the Rhineland-Palatinate, the main suspect, 38-year-old Andreas Johannes Schmidt from Hesse, was arrested, while investigations are continuing into the possibility that there were more perpetrators.
The unfortunate police officers, a 24-year-old woman who was still attending the Police School and a 29-year-old man, tried to check the perpetrators’ car at 4:20 in the Kuzel area, near Kaiserslautern, and, as reported by their service, found prey. in the luggage compartment.
A little while later, they were heard on the radio shouting “they are shooting at us, they are shooting at us!”. When the aid arrived, the woman was already dead, while her colleague exhaled a few hours later. Both wore bulletproof vests and suffered head injuries.
One of the perpetrators had inadvertently left his personal documents at the crime scene, most likely from the police checkpoint. A large police operation is underway in the Rhineland-Palatinate and neighboring Saarland since the early morning hours.
