Erkelenz - A 54-year-old man from Erkelenz visited the evening market in Erkelenz on September 5 (Thursday). Shortly before midnight, he set off home on his bike accompanied by two friends. The cyclists parted ways at an ice cream parlor. The Erkelenz man continued along Xantener Allee/Viersener Allee to the extension of Peter-Gehlen-Str. There he most probably continued in the direction of Matzerath. From this point on, the man from Erkelenz can no longer remember anything. He woke up in hospital. As the injuries do not match a fall and no scratches or other traces of a fall are recognizable on the bicycle and loud noises were heard at the time of the crime, the police are now looking for people who can provide information.
Have you heard noises or seen people in the area mentioned that night who could be connected to what happened?
