A man suspected of fatally shooting six child welfare workers at a shelter for mothers in Stade in northern Germany last month died by suicide in jail on Tuesday.
The suspect, who has been partially identified in German media as 45-year-old Fatih Khan G., was found dead by jail staff in his single cell early Tuesday, the Lower Saxony state justice ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said there are ‘currently no indications of third-party involvement’ in the suspect’s death at the jail, and that both his relatives and the relatives of the shooting victims had been informed.
