Because he didn't want to wait so long for an ambulance for his uncle, a man apparently pretended to be a murderer.
According to the police, the 50-year-old said on the phone that he stabbed his uncle.
Several patrol cars, an ambulance and an ambulance immediately set off for Steinheim an der Murr north of Stuttgart.
There they discovered that the crime was fictitious - the uncle only had back pain.
Waited for the doctor
After the two men had waited an hour for a doctor on Saturday evening, the nephew thought up the murder out of impatience, it was said.
According to the police, the 50-year-old now has to answer for pretending to be a criminal offense, and the investigators are also checking whether he has to pay for the operation.
