Kassel: Words from Lübcke probably caused perpetrators to murder
Lübcke said during an information event about a planned refugee accommodation: “It is worth living in our country. You have to stand up for values, and those who do not represent these values can leave this country at any time if they do not agree. That is the freedom of every German. "
According to previous investigations, Ernst sets off for Kassel at around 7.30 p.m. on June 1 in Istha, 22 kilometers away. Before the murder , he watched Lübcke's house until after 11 p.m. Nearby, the wheat fair is still in full swing. At around 11.30 p.m. Lübcke steps out onto his terrace again to smoke a cigarette and end the day.
