Ebersbach an der Fils (dpa / lsw) - After the fatal attack on a 26-year-old man in Ebersbach an der Fils (Göppingen district), the police arrested his brother and partner.

Both are now in custody, as the police and prosecutor announced on Monday.

The man was walking with his 30-year-old girlfriend on Monday last week when two darkly dressed and masked men approached them near an underpass.

According to the woman, the strangers attacked the couple and beat the 26-year-old Pakistani.

The woman herself survived the attack with minor injuries, and her partner died on the scene.

During the investigation, however, there were suspicions against the life partner of the victim and his brother, it said on Monday.

As a result, search warrants were issued.

On Saturday, the police searched the apartment of the victim and his partner.

The brother of the man killed lived there too.

In addition, the police searched an apartment in the Ostalb district, where the victim's German partner “had a reference”.

The police secured alleged evidence.
