Murder in Obermenzing: Police are asking for information about a lonely banker
A tragic murder case has been uncovered in the Munich district of Obermenzing, sending the city into turmoil. Ulrich Zilker, a 62-year-old man, was found dead in his apartment on Keyserlingstrasse on July 7th. As [Bild] reports, acquaintances had not seen him for more than a month. The subsequent autopsy revealed that Zilker died as a result of massive violence - around ten days before his body was found.
The police assume it was a homicide and have already founded the “EG Keyserling” investigation group, which consists of around 20 officers. The fact that no signs of break-in were found suggests that the perpetrator or perpetrators may have followed Zilker into the house. In recent years, Zilker has lived a rather withdrawn life; He was recently unemployed and often moved around on foot with a backpack and a shopping trolley.
Reward for information about the perpetrator
To advance the investigation, the State Criminal Police Office has offered a reward of 10,000 euros. [Süddeutsche] points out that the police are looking for witnesses who knew Zilker or have information about his environment. The search is carried out through posters that will be put up in Obermenzing and Milbertshofen from Saturday. The police ask anyone who can provide information to contact the Munich Police Headquarters directly on 089 2910-0 or any police station.
Loneliness is an issue that is increasingly coming into focus in society. According to [Statista], almost 20 percent of people feel very lonely, which affects both older and younger generations. The causes are complex and range from individual challenges to social conditions. Loneliness can lead to serious mental and physical illnesses. In ultra-short form: Loneliness is a feeling that affects more people than you might imagine, and its condition can suddenly and tragically worsen due to the loss of social contacts, as in Zilker's case.
The investigation into the Zilker murder case continues to be intensively pursued. Every tip could be crucial in bringing the perpetrator or perpetrators to justice and reducing the feeling of insecurity in the city. The authorities are now hoping for the solidarity of the population, because on such a sensitive issue we have to stick together and support each other.
