Lübeck (dpa / lno) - After the violent death of a 38-year-old on Wednesday in Lübeck, an arrest warrant was issued against a suspect.

There is an urgent suspicion of manslaughter, announced the public prosecutor and the police on Friday.

In addition, one sees a risk of escape.

The man from Lübeck is said to have shot the man after he got into a house.

The 57-year-old is now in custody and is silent about the allegations.

A public defender was assigned to him.

In contrast to the villas in the area, the villa appears empty and dilapidated, reported a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office.

The companion of the 38-year-old said during his questioning that one was simply curious and wanted to take a look at this seemingly deserted place.

Since the men were out on bicycles and had nothing with which to take away the booty, the investigators claim that they have been trespassing.

According to the investigators' previous findings, the 38-year-old was with an acquaintance early Wednesday morning through a cellar window into the building in Lübeck-St.

Gertrud got in, but was surprised by the 57-year-old on the second floor.

"This frightened the intruders, who then fled," it said.

The resident then apparently followed the two.

While the companion of the 38-year-old managed to escape unscathed, the victim was struck down with three shots in the back from a sharp weapon.

Neighbors found the seriously injured man on the street and alerted the rescue workers.

The victim died a little later in the hospital.

When the police searched the house that evening, officials found the 57-year-old on the roof, where he was arrested without resistance.

A pistol was lying next to him.

Two more firearms - a revolver and a long gun - were found in the house.

The man had the necessary gun license for all three weapons.

However, the officers also found boxes of ammunition and - when they returned on Thursday with experts from the ordnance disposal service - another hand grenade.
