An American tourist was apprehended by authorities in Germany on Thursday for allegedly shoving two fellow American tourists down a steep slope near a renowned German castle, resulting in the death of one of them. The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon near the Marienbruecke, a bridge that spans a gorge and provides a picturesque view of the Neuschwanstein Castle.
According to police, the 30-year-old man encountered the two American women, aged 21 and 22, on a hiking path and enticed them to follow him onto a trail leading to a viewpoint. “The suspect attacked the younger of the two women,” stated police spokesperson Holger Stabik. “The older woman rushed to her aid, but was then strangled by the suspect and subsequently pushed down the slope.”
The assailant allegedly attempted to sexually assault the 21-year-old before pushing her down the slope as well. She fell approximately 165 feet, landing close to her friend. Both women were reached by a mountain rescue team. The 22-year-old was “responsive” and admitted to a hospital for further treatment, while a helicopter transported the seriously injured 21-year-old to a different hospital, where she tragically passed away overnight.
The suspect fled the scene but was promptly apprehended nearby. A bystander who filmed the police escorting the suspect away expressed astonishment that anyone could survive such a fall.
The commendable work of the authorities was acknowledged, particularly the rescue helicopter that skillfully navigated just above the treetops at the hill’s summit. The suspect’s identity, as well as that of the two victims, has not been disclosed.
The suspect is currently being held in custody following a court ruling by a judge in nearby Kempten. He faces potential charges of murder, attempted murder, and a sexual offense. The investigation is ongoing, and a formal indictment may take several months.
