A 26-year-old cyclist was stabbed to death in Franconia.
A friend of the victim describes the murder as an execution.
The police are investigating.
Bad Neustadt - The murder of a cyclist (26) still causes horror in the tranquil Rhön town of Bad Neustadt (district of Rhön-Grabfeld *).
Because of drug debt, Josef D. is said to have been killed by three of his friends (18, 20, 21) - all of them German citizens.
"It was an execution," said a close friend of the victim.
"They lured him into an ambush, they said they wanted to have a beer with him." On the spot, the "friends" first knocked him down with a beer bottle and then stabbed him with a knife.
We're talking about debts over 90 euros for hashish!
