Detmold (dpa / lnw) – The Detmold public prosecutor’s office has brought charges of murder against the so-called ax murderer from Kalletal. According to the investigators of the Bielefeld police, the 36-year-old Azerbaijani killed a 39-year-old from Rinteln while he was sleeping with an ax on June 18, 2022, as the Detmold public prosecutor announced on Thursday.
