Two dead children were found in downtown Hanau.

The police have now caught the fugitive suspect.

It's about the father.

Hanau - On Wednesday, May 11, the police found a dead seven-year-old girl in a high-rise building in Hanau.

Her eleven-year-old brother, who was badly injured, also died a short time later.

A family drama?

The police have now arrested the suspect in France.

It is the 47-year-old father of the two children, said a spokeswoman for the Hanau public prosecutor on Saturday.

Bloody deed in Hanau: Police arrest the children's father in France - so far he has been silent

The public prosecutor's office had already spoken on Wednesday about indications of a family background to the crime.

Target investigators from the Hessian State Criminal Police Office managed to track down the suspect after the crime.

"With the support of other experts from the Federal Criminal Police Office's target search, the 47-year-old was located near Paris on Saturday morning and arrested there," said the police and the Hanau public prosecutor's office.

The man lives in the Rhine-Main area.

He reportedly did not resist the arrest.

"So far he has not commented on the fact," it said.

The public prosecutor's office in Hanau assumes that he will be transferred to Germany in a few weeks and brought before the investigating judge.

Police and prosecutors are investigating the man on suspicion of murder.

A dead girl was found in this high-rise building in Hanau on May 11th.

Family drama in Hanau: autopsy revealed cause of death of the two children

The crime apparently happened in the apartment in Hanau where the two children lived.

Several months before the crime, the Hanau youth welfare office had had indications of family problems, as the city had announced.

The parents probably lived separately.

The father, who was only allowed to see his children when accompanied by a youth welfare worker, is said to have announced at a last meeting with his children before the bloody crime in Hanau that "something bad" was going to happen.

It was initially unclear where the mother was at the time of the crime.

An autopsy revealed that the girl died from injuries caused by "sharp force in the neck area".

The boy died from multiple internal injuries from a fall from a great height.

The reasons for the fall are part of the investigation.

Passers-by had alerted the police after discovering the seriously injured boy on the ground in front of a high-rise building near Hanau's market square.

In Hanau in 2020, a 43-year-old murdered several people for racist motives - now there are again questions about the investigation.
