A 30-year-old male suspect was in custody, German police said on June 15, after two women were shoved into a gorge, killing one, near Germany’s landmark Neuschwanstein Castle the previous day.
Police said two female tourists, aged 21 and 22, were led to a trail near the castle by the suspect, where, they said, the 21-year-old was attacked.
“When the 22-year-old wanted to intervene,” she was “choked,” police said, and “pushed … down a steep slope.”
“According to the current state of knowledge, an attempted sexual offense to the detriment of the 21-year-old must be assumed,” police said. The suspect “then pushed her down the slope, where she, after falling nearly 50 meters, came to rest next to her friend.”
The 21-year-old woman, who was taken to a hospital by helicopter, died overnight, police said.
The suspect was described by the local Allgaeuer Zeitung as an American tourist.
