After the killing spree at Heidelberg University, the police are evaluating digital devices that the special task force (SEK) seized during a search of the perpetrator's apartment.
He is confident that the evaluation could provide information about the motives, said Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU) on Tuesday in Stuttgart.
Heidelberg - In addition, the corpses of the perpetrator and the victim are forensically examined.
The bodies of the young man and the 23-year-old woman were taken to the Institute for Forensic Medicine at Heidelberg University Hospital for an autopsy, Strobl said.
