Witnesses searched: The neighborhood shakes the homicide in Neukölln!

in Neukölln, on the banks of the Teltow Canal, a tragic incident occurred to call on the police and the public prosecutor. On June 30, 2025, around 9:30 p.m., a suspected homicide occurred there, in which a 62-year-old man lost his life. The Berlin police are now urgently looking for witnesses who can provide relevant information on this case. Perceptions of a dispute between two men who took place between 21:15 and 9:25 p.m. and observations that a person depicted fell into the channel are particularly relevant. Sights of a person with a red backpack of the Puma brand are also searched for, as [berlin.de] (https://www.berlin.de/polizei reports/2025/PressemageDeilung.1575734.php) reports.

The terrifying incident attracted public attention when it became known that the 62-year-old went into the channel after a fall. Although the police and fire brigade were able to save him quickly, he floated in mortal danger and died in the hospital a little later. A 58-year-old man was arrested in a snack on Hermannstrasse on Tuesday evening and is under urgent suspicion of having played a role in this tragic matter. He was brought before an investigative judge and the public prosecutor accepts witnesses to examine a possible external fault, such as [Tagesspiegel] (https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/Mutmasslichliche-totungs-in-neukolln-62-jahriger-nach-Sturz-Sturz-den-teltowkanal --berer-Polien-sucht-Wiren-13945963.html) reported.

Investigations and the call for help

The investigators ask the population for help, since numerous details are still in the dark. Above all, they are looking for people who have observed the dispute between the two men or who can contribute to the events in any way. Information can be given directly to the 4th murder commission of the State Criminal Police Office Berlin, which is reported at any time on the telephone number (030) 4664-911444 or by email and via the internet station.

Such a suspected homicide raises questions about the security situation in German cities. According to the police crime statistics in 2024, which indicates an increase in violent crime by 1.5 %, there were 2177,277 cases in the past year, the highest level since 2007. Although the crime rate was reduced by 1.7 %, the security situation is additionally stressed by specific offenses such as knife attacks and violence of non -German suspects BKA. In view of this situation, it is more important than ever that the citizens keep their eyes and ears open. Every little hint can be decisive. The hope of the investigators is that witnesses report to bring light into this dark case.
