Gelsenkirchen (dpa / lnw) – In a brutal attack in front of a snack bar in Gelsenkirchen’s old town, two men from Marl were critically injured. Witnesses observed how the 21 and 28-year-old victims were nearly kicked to death and beaten to death, police and prosecutors reported on Tuesday.
The perpetrators fled the scene in several cars before the first emergency services arrived. A homicide commission took up the investigation. The investigators initially kept a low profile on any background to the crime on Monday evening. The exact number of attackers is still unclear, as is their motive.
