Three people died in a fire at a care facility in the German state of Baden-Württemberg on Tuesday. Now it is being investigated on suspicion of murder – against a 57-year-old resident.
Two men (aged 73 and 88) and a woman (53) were killed in the fire, eleven residents of the house in Reutlingen were injured. According to previous investigations, the fire broke out on Tuesday around 7:40 p.m. on the top floor of the house in the room of the suspect, who himself was seriously injured. Further forensic investigations continued.
The suspect is currently not responding
Investigators also said nothing was known about a possible motive for the woman, who had a mental illness. According to the information, the 57-year-old is currently being treated in a special clinic and is not responding.
The mayor of Reutlingen, Thomas Keck, was shocked after the fire. “It’s a black night for Reutlingen,” he said at a press conference at the scene of the accident on Tuesday evening. The facility’s general manager, Gerhard Längle, said, “It’s just a disaster.”
Home is now partially uninhabitable
Mentally ill people who need care at the same time live in the social-psychiatric care institution. According to the medical director of the home, it is an institution that offers integration assistance to mentally ill people of at least 50 years old. They live there for a long time. The part of the building affected by the fire is no longer habitable.
