Around four weeks after the deadly shots at two police officers in the Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate, the Kaiserslautern public prosecutor's office dropped the murder charge against one of the two suspects.

According to her own statements, she assumes that the 38-year-old main perpetrator shot alone.

The arrest warrant against the 32-year-old man remains in place because of commercial poaching and obstruction of justice, the authority said on Tuesday.

According to information from the "Bild" newspaper, the 32-year-old man remains in custody.

A new arrest warrant for poaching and attempted evasion of prosecution had been issued.
