US man held after fatal attack near Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany​

An American man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and sexual assault after allegedly attacking two women near one of Germany’s most popular tourist attractions and throwing them down a 50-metre ravine.

One of the women, aged 21, died overnight from serious injuries. Her 22-year-old companion was still in hospital with serious injuries. Neither has been identified, but according to German media reports both women were also Americans.


The attack took place on Wednesday afternoon at the 19th-century Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, the state prosecutor Thomas Hörmann told reporters.

No name? No photo. In the US this is what they do when it's a black guy.

I think it was a white dude. Maybe in Germany, it's just the other way around.

Surely we will know after some time.

Eventually.

Why has it made news the world over?

Probably because the killer was a white American. Had it been a black American, it would have remained local news for a few hours.
