Areguá - After the brutal robbery of the German archaeologist and his daughter in Paraguay, there is a spectacular turning point. The police have arrested a German, reports the news agency dpa. At least two other German citizens are wanted, said the head of the homicide department of the national police, Hugo Grance, on Tuesday the radio station "Monumental". All three are suspected of being involved in the crime and possibly being behind it.
According to RTL, three Germans are said to have been arrested.
Among them is a German who shortly after the act passed himself off as a grieving friend.
In front of the RTL camera, he said: "It's sad when you're standing at the crime scene and helpless when you can't do anything that the crooks are caught." In an interview with the broadcaster, the German is concerned.
He also says: "I organized the funeral."
Robbery of Bernhard von Bredow - coroner speaks of execution
The victims are the well-known archaeologist Bernard von Bredow and his daughter Loreena * from Bavaria. The bodies of the 62-year-old and the 14-year-old girl were discovered in the family home near Areguá, around 30 kilometers southeast of the capital Asunción. According to the Federal Foreign Office, the incident occurred on October 22nd. Both victims died from gunfire, presumably from the same weapon, said forensic doctor Héctor Meza. The father was killed with a shot in the neck - there are indications that he had previously been tortured. His daughter was found in a bathtub filled with water.
An acquaintance of Bernhard von Bredow and his daughter was first at the house, which at the time looked like a battlefield.
"They will have been looking for something to get to the point, he was tortured and the daughter was shown injured," he said in an interview with RTL.
Did the perpetrators look for the key to the safe?
In this safe there should be certificates of valuable violins.
The suspect might have known that.
In the RTL interview, he speaks openly about the safe and that the key has not yet been found.
Robbery - police cite musical instruments as a motive
As a possible motive, the head of the murder department Grance named the robbery of valuable, old instruments that the dead man had owned.
In an apartment of the arrested person in the city of Areguá, in addition to firearms, musical instruments that allegedly belonged to the victim were found, reported the newspaper ABC Color, citing the commissioner.
Bernhard von Bredow's Paraguayan papers were issued in 2016, so he had lived in the South American country for at least five years, at least temporarily.
Media reports said that he also repaired musical instruments such as violins.
