Weilerbach (AP) - After the discovery of two bodies in a residential building in Weilerbach near Kaiserslautern (Rhineland-Palatinate), the police are looking for the suspect with high pressure.
The investigators are now publicly looking for the 38-year-old Daniel Mentel.
The police and the public prosecutor announced on Tuesday evening.
The suspect was the woman's son, a spokesman had previously said.
"We do not rule out that he is armed."
He was also being investigated for serious arson in two cases, it said.
A police helicopter, tracking dogs and special police forces are in use.
The two dead, a 60-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man, were discovered in a homestead that morning, according to police.
"We assume a homicide," said a spokesman.
He wanted to “neither confirm nor deny” that the two were shot.
The woman and the man were not married, but were probably a couple.
The police announced on Twitter on Tuesday: "If you are currently in Weilerbach, please stay in a building."
About 5000 people live in Weilerbach.
