Zirndorf (dpa / lby) - After he is said to have seriously injured an elderly couple in Zirndorf (Fürth district), a 54-year-old has been placed in a psychiatric facility. As the police announced, an investigating judge issued a so-called accommodation arrest warrant against the man on Tuesday. He is said to have seriously injured the two seniors in a residential building on Monday. The suspect is said to have broken into the house beforehand.
According to the investigation, the alleged perpetrator and the 72 and 73-year-old victims had known each other for a long time. Nothing was known about a dispute directly before the crime. According to the current state of knowledge, the motive for the act "should be found in the suspect's mentally abnormal condition," it said. There is no longer any danger to life for the two seniors. The man and woman are still in the hospital.
