2 Ukrainian servicemen fatally stabbed in Germany

Two Ukrainian servicemen lost their lives in a stabbing incident at a shopping center in southern Germany, Ukrainian officials reported according to CNN. The incident occurred on Saturday evening, resulting in the death of a 36-year-old man at the scene, while a 23-year-old man succumbed to his injuries later that evening at a nearby hospital.

The two Ukrainian individuals resided in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area and were in Germany for medical rehabilitation. German authorities have detained a 57-year-old man, believed to be a Russian national, at his residence near the scene of the incident.

A criminal inquiry into the potential double homicide is currently in progress.

“On April 27, two Ukrainian citizens, men born in 1987 and 2001, were killed by stabbing in Murnau am Stafelsee, Bavaria, Germany, at a local shopping center,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, as per CNN.

“According to preliminary information, the deceased citizens were military personnel undergoing medical rehabilitation in Germany,” the ministry said.

Further details are awaited.
