A woman was killed in Männedorf on Lake Zurich. She was attacked by a naked man in a park.
According to Swiss police, a naked man attacked several people in a park and killed a jogger. As the police in the canton of Zurich announced on Wednesday, the incident occurred on Tuesday evening in Männedorf, another person was slightly injured. According to eyewitnesses, the 19-year-old suspect had been screaming and attacking several people in the park on Lake Zurich. Emergency services found a seriously injured woman. Despite resuscitation efforts, she could not be saved. The suspected attacker – a Swiss citizen – was arrested on the spot.
The authorities initially did not provide any further information about the victim, the suspect or the attack. It was not yet clear whether the 19-year-old and the jogger knew each other, it was said.
