In Dortmund, a 15-year-old son kills his Ukrainian military father

In the German city of Dortmund, a 15-year-old teenager has killed his father, a Ukrainian serviceman.

This was reported by Bild.

According to investigators, 49-year-old Alexander suffered two stab wounds to the chest that affected his lung and heart, and died at the scene. After the attack, the son called emergency services himself and was detained.

Bild, citing sources in the investigation, reports that approximately a year before the killing the teenager converted to Islam. Investigators are considering the possibility of his radicalization, but it has not yet been established whether this is connected to the motive for the crime.

In parallel, investigators are examining a domestic dispute theory: neighbors had spoken of conflicts within the family, and a confrontation between father and son may have occurred immediately before the incident.

The exact circumstances and motive of the crime are being established. Police and prosecutors have so far declined to disclose details of the investigation, citing the age of the suspect.

Earlier in Odessa, a man shot and killed his parents with a hunting rifle, wounded his brother, and then took his own life.
