Authorities say an American man has been arrested in the death of a U.S. tourist and an assault on another near Neuschwanstein castle in southern Germany after he allegedly pushed the two women down a steep slope.
BERLIN — An American man has been arrested in the death of a U.S. tourist and an assault on another near Neuschwanstein castle in southern Germany after he allegedly pushed the two women down a steep slope, authorities said Thursday.
The assailant then appears to have attempted to sexually assault the 21-year-old before pushing her down the slope as well. She fell nearly 50 meters , ending up close to her friend. "He did not say a single word. He didn't open his mouth; he didn't mumble," Abneri told The Associated Press."He just walked with the police and that was it."
Police said they and prosecutors were focusing on trying to reconstruct exactly what happened and called for any witnesses to come forward.
