Mysterious death at the police station: New evidence in the Rose case!
On December 8, 1997, an incident occurred in the Dessau-Roßlau police station that still causes a sensation today: The 36-year-old engineer Jürgen Rose died under mysterious circumstances after a night-time confrontation with the police. What seemed like a tragic accident at the time now raises questions that not only concern Rose's family, but also cast a shadow over the practices of the security authorities. According to a report by Young world Rose was initially arrested for drunk driving with a blood alcohol content of 1.98 per mille. But his death and the circumstances that led to it indicate much more than an unfortunate isolated incident.
After his initial release at 3:01 a.m., Rose returned to his vehicle but was stopped again by police at 3:35 a.m. At 5:06 a.m. the police received an emergency call about a seriously injured person who was just 250 meters from the station. Rose was later taken to hospital with hypothermia and serious injuries, where he died 24 hours later. While police claimed he jumped out of the window, the man's injuries suggest he was subjected to violence - evidence of kicks and batons, a medical examiner found. These findings raise legitimate questions, especially in light of other unexplained deaths in the Dessau police station, including the cases of Mario Bichtemann (2002) and Oury Jalloh (2005).
Police brutality scandal
Loud daily news new evidence shows that the files were manipulated. The Rose family's lawyer has lodged a complaint with the Naumburg Public Prosecutor's Office and the Federal Prosecutor General and is demanding a new trial. Also troubling are the inconsistencies, such as the lack of a record of Rose's second dismissal and the late involvement of the public prosecutor's office. Rose's widow, Iris Rose, has also reported four police officers for murder. She fears such serious incidents are not isolated and is appealing to others who have had similar experiences to come forward.
As we reflect on this case, thoughts of similar incidents in other European countries come to mind. According to an article by ND Current, at least 488 people died in police custody or during police operations in 13 EU countries between 2020 and 2022. The high number of deaths is particularly alarming in France, followed by Germany, where 60 deaths were documented. These figures show that the Rose case is not an isolated incident, but part of a larger problem affecting police violence in Europe.
A call for enlightenment
The inconsistencies in the Jürgen Rose case and the increasing number of deaths due to police violence cast a major shadow on the credibility of the security authorities and the necessary control over their actions. Iris Rose hopes that her efforts will not be in vain and that appropriate investigations will be carried out to finally get to the bottom of the truth. The demand for transparent and independent investigations is growing, and it is up to society to make these concerns heard.
