Ludwigshafen – After the deadly knife attack in Ludwigshafen, the investigators look at the background and the motive for the crime.

The background to the attack was initially unclear. The Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of the Interior Michael Ebling (SPD) said that investigations were being carried out “in all directions”. The police headquarters in Ludwigshafen is in the middle of the investigation. The State Criminal Police Office was also involved. Ebling spoke of a shocking and horrific act.
