An American man has been arrested over the death of one University of Illinois graduate and an assault on another near Neuschwanstein castle in southern Germany after he allegedly pushed the two women down a steep slope.
The incident near the popular tourist attraction happened on Wednesday afternoon near the Marienbruecke, a bridge over a gorge close to the castle that offers a famous view of Neuschwanstein.
The assailant then appears to have attempted to sexually assault Liu before pushing her down the slope as well. She fell nearly 50 meters , ending up close to her friend.A mountain rescue team reached both women. Chang was "responsive" and taken to a hospital, police said; a helicopter carried the Liu with serious injuries to a different hospital, and she died there overnight.
"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." "I’m honestly absolutely stunned someone is still alive from this. It is like falling from the top of an absolute cliff," he said.
