After a body was found in the Kulmbach district, a suspect was taken into custody. The 24-year-old is suspected of being responsible for the death of a 48-year-old man, the police and prosecutors said on Thursday.
A walker found the dead man in a forest near Kasendorf on Tuesday. Subsequent investigation by a coroner increased suspicion of a violent crime. The investigation led the officials to the 24-year-old, it was said. After his arrest, he was brought before an investigating judge on Wednesday, who issued the arrest warrant. The police did not give any further details for investigative reasons.
