Disputes over real estate are not uncommon. In Berlin, such a dispute ended with the death of two men.
Berlin – According to the investigators, the dispute over an apartment was the trigger for the death of two men in the Berlin district of Spandau.
As the police and prosecutors announced on Monday, the 79-year-old tenant killed a 38-year-old with several shots on Saturday because he should have left the property. Then the tenant poured out gasoline in his apartment and set it on fire. He died at the scene of the fire.
The background to the crime was that the granny flat was an unauthorized building. This is said to have become apparent after the sale of the property in early 2022. After the investigation, the argument went so far that the perpetrator also wanted to kill the 38-year-old’s business partner. However, he was able to escape.
According to a spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office, the investigation is about murder and attempted murder. However, since the senior is no longer alive, the procedure is initially formally continued as a so-called death investigation procedure and ultimately discontinued. dpa
