After the violent death of a 40-year-old Syrian on Tuesday in Berlin-Gatow, the perpetrator is still on the run. The police manhunt is in full swing.
One day after the fact, the investigators of the homicide squad were again at the crime scene on the Waldschluchtpfad road on Wednesday. They searched for the murder weapon with metal detectors and followed the perpetrator’s possible escape route in the direction of Kladower Damm. It was not announced if investigators found anything.

According to BZ information, the later victim is said to have stayed with two female relatives in a parking lot on the forest gorge path shortly before the crime. Then the perpetrator is said to have come and discussed and argued with the 40-year-old.
The argument is said to have shifted so that the women could only watch what was happening from a distance. Suddenly the man pulled out a gun and shot his victim. According to BZ information three times.
