Terrible. Incomprehensible. Horrible. These are words that keep popping up during these hours to describe an event that can barely be understood: the fatal uproar in the city center of Trier.
How can you understand what happened there, not far from the landmark of the city, around a quarter to two in the afternoon on Tuesday?
Someone sits behind the wheel of a powerful SUV and runs over people in the pedestrian zone at high speed. “Indiscriminate and selective”, as the prosecutor says. Kill five people, including a nine-week-old baby and his 45-year-old father.
In the sober words of the law: A 51-year-old defendant is being held on urgent suspicion of murder in five cases and attempted murder and dangerous bodily injury in 18 other cases.
Bernd W., the name of the urgent suspect, was arrested in the car. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, a breathalyzer test yielded a value of 1.4 per thousand. What is still completely open in this first stage of the investigation: the motive. An explanation of this act. In the first interrogations, according to the prosecutor, W. made “varied and partly incomprehensible information.”
