“Die Polizei nimmt einen 15-Jährigen fest, nachdem zwei Männer und eine Frau bei einem Festival in Deutschland getötet wurden.”
On August 23, 2024, a tragic incident occurred at a festival in Solingen, Germany, where a knife-wielding assailant attacked festival-goers, killing three people and injuring eight others.8 The victims included two men aged 67 and 57, and a 56-year-old woman. The attack took place during a “Festival of Diversity,” which was organized to celebrate Solingen’s 650th anniversary.
A 15-year-old boy was detained by police in connection with the attack, though he is not believed to be the primary suspect. Authorities allege that the teenager was aware of the planned attack but failed to report it. This suspicion arose after two witnesses overheard a conversation between the boy and another individual, suggesting prior knowledge of the event. The boy was arrested on charges related to “failure to report planned crimes.”
The primary suspect, responsible for the stabbings, is still at large. Police have initiated a large-scale manhunt, deploying special units across North Rhine-Westphalia to track down the attacker. Investigators are exploring various motives, including the possibility of terrorism, though no clear connection has been established yet.
Following the attack, the remainder of the festival was canceled, and local authorities have promised to reevaluate security measures for future events. The attack has left the community in shock, with both local and federal officials visiting the city to offer support and coordinate the investigation
