After the attack with an SUV that left five dead and 14 injured, Trier is in shock. It is the “blackest day” for Trier “since the Second World War,” says Mayor Wolfram Leibe. He wants to know “why someone does something like that.” He may never get an answer. Investigators are looking for traces, and even hours after the alleged rampage in Trier, large parts of the pedestrian zone are cordoned off with white and red police tape. Wherever the car must have raced along, there are random things on the road on this gray December day. The police speak of five dead, including a nine and a half week old child. The mother is injured in the hospital. A 51-year-old German from the Trier-Saarburg district is arrested.

According to the police, the high-horsepower vehicle should have raced from the basilica via the main market to the Porta Nigra, the world-famous city gate from Roman times. In the nearby Christophstrasse, the car was stopped by the police after about 200 meters and the driver was overwhelmed – “four minutes after the first notice,” as the Rhineland-Palatinate Interior Minister Roger Lewentz says.

Accused “was drunk” Public prosecutor announces first details about the Trier death driver

Lewentz speaks of a “very long path to the crime” that is being examined meter by meter. “It affects people enormously, including the emergency services.” Lewentz came together with Prime Minister Malu Dreyer, who lives in Trier. Both stand visibly shaken in the pale light of the TV cameras. “It’s just awful,” says Dreyer. The worst thing is that people have lost their lives. Not far away the bells of the cathedral strike. Bishop Stephan Ackermann has invited to the mother church of the diocese to pray for the victims. According to Senior Public Prosecutor Peter Fritzen, the alleged driver is said to have been drunk – he names a breath alcohol level of 1.4 per mille. There are indications of a psychiatric clinical picture. And there is an urgent suspicion of murder in four cases. According to the investigation, the car is said to have driven zigzag lines – possibly to meet people.
“It is incredible. We are stunned”

When it gets dark, citizens put up some candles. Small tea lights that a young woman has set up flicker at the Porta Nigra. She wanted to express her sympathy for those affected, she says. “It’s all so terrible.” Visibly shaken, eyewitnesses describe how people were thrown through the air in the terrible incident. “It’s unbelievable. We are stunned,” says one resident of a house that borders the pedestrian zone through which the perpetrator drove. You can see a blood stain on the cobblestones, blood-soaked cloths.
