Bielefeld/Kalletal – The police are looking for a 36-year-old suspect after a homicide in Kalletal in the Lippe district.

After extensive investigations by a homicide commission, there was an urgent suspicion against the 36-year-old.

The scene of the crime is said to be a street near the Weser in the municipality of Kalletal-Stemmen.

The investigators called the man's full name for the search and published a photo of him.
