Four dead after fire: funeral procession for fire victims. Hundreds of people came together for a funeral march.
Four people died and several were injured in a house fire in Solingen in North Rhine-Westphalia on Monday morning. A man who had been temporarily arrested was released after his alibi was checked and confirmed. In May 1993, five women and girls of Turkish origin were murdered in a nighttime arson attack with a right-wing extremist background. The attack marked the low point in a series of racist attacks on people of foreign origin in Germany.
