Thanks Matthias!

Just a small update on the story: the suspect was recognized by witnesses and arrested on late Friday evening (~ 11 p.m.) on the streets in Göttingen. The arrest was conducted by just two detectives in plain clothes because the main police force (including the SWAT teams) had been redirected to Hannover (about 100km north of Göttingen) after several witnesses had called in and claimed to have seen him there. The second victim succumbed her severe injuries in hospital.
