24-year-old fatally injured with knife on construction site in the Sony Center – two arrests

The death of a 24-year-old on a construction site in the Sony Center is a mystery. Was it a crime? The police are investigating and arrested two men (22 and 23).

The two are suspects, the police said on Sunday. Based on the interrogations that have taken place so far, however, the events cannot yet be conclusively evaluated.

That had happened

The police received an emergency call at 12:45 p.m. indicating a seriously injured person in the basement of the Sony Center. Arriving in a lounge there, the 24-year-old construction worker was found with stab wounds. Rescue workers tried to revive the man – without success.

The police were on site with special forces. The area around the place where the man was found was still cordoned off on Saturday afternoon.

According to a police spokesman, the situation in which the seriously injured construction worker was found does not rule out the possibility of third-party negligence.
