First, the officials found the 60-year-old lifeless in the garden of an apartment building in the center of town. A witness discovered the man and called the police and emergency services - the emergency call came in at 4:50 p.m. The immediately initiated resuscitation measures were therefore unsuccessful, the man died on the spot from his serious injuries, according to the announcement.

An immediately launched large-scale search by the Weilheim police with the support of numerous emergency services from surrounding departments was initially unsuccessful, it was said. Around 7:15 p.m., a passer-by discovered a lifeless person on a park bench – according to the information, it was the 59-year-old who was already dead when the emergency services arrived. In his property, also in Weilheim, the police finally found the two lifeless women, according to the report with "massive injuries". An emergency doctor could only determine the death of the two 57-year-olds.

The Weilheim criminal police and the Munich II public prosecutor's office are conducting the investigation.
