new breakthrough in «File number XY»: arrest after six years

Plattling/Deggendorf (dpa/lby)- An almost six years ago overdue on an innkeeper in Plattling finally led to a suspect. The Deggendorf police released a search for the ZDF show "File number XY ... unresolved", which now led to the decisive trace.

A 49-year-old man was targeted by the investigators after a DNA trace indicated that he was one of the masked perpetrators who attacked the innkeeper in September 2018. The brutal robbery ended with the disposal of income and cell phone of the victim, while the innkeeper was injured by a knife stab.

The police issued an arrest warrant against the urgently suspect man. This long -awaited step after so many years brings hope of justice for the victim and gives the community a feeling of security.

The determination of the investigators and the support of the public by media such as “File number XY… Unresolved” show that even after many years of unsolved cases, the police do not give up and fight for justice. This breakthrough teaches us that no crime remains unpunished and gives people in Plattling and Deggendorf.
