In the course of the investigation, doubts emerged about the strong suspicion against the 23-year-old, the police and public prosecutor’s office said. “He gave an alibi for the time of the crime, which, according to checks by the homicide squad, is likely to be correct.”

Suspicious car was probably rented from a third party

The man was arrested in Bremen on Monday and an arrest warrant was issued against him on suspicion of manslaughter. The key evidence against the man was the fact that the white Golf he was looking for had been rented in his name. In addition, his appearance matched the description of the perpetrator given by witnesses.

“After further investigations, however, it is possible that the car was rented by a third party using the 23-year-old’s name and ID,” it said. The German was released from custody on Thursday.
