Suspected killers of the ex-pastor arrested in Romania - Police continue their search for additional witnesses

In the quiet neighbourhood of Moabit, the police were called to a crime scene on July 5, 2020, after Zuber, a 77-year-old former pastor, had not been seen by his co-tenants for several days. The time of the crime is believed to be last Tuesday or Wednesday, 30th of June or 1st of July.

An autopsy conducted on July 6 revealed that Zuber was the victim of a homicide. The police are seeking information about Zuber's environment and are asking for the public's help. Any information about his whereabouts could be crucial in the ongoing investigation.

The 6th Homicide Commission, in collaboration with the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office, have been investigating the case and have identified two suspects, aged 20 and 24, who have been arrested in connection with the homicide. Both suspects are currently in custody.

The public can provide tips by phone at (030) 4664- 911 666 or at any other police station. Alternatively, tips can be submitted to the 6th Homicide Commission at the State Criminal Police Office in Keithstraße 30 in 10787 Berlin-Tiergarten. The Press Office for the Berlin Police Department can be reached at Place of the Air Bridge 612101 Berlin, via email at [email protected], or by phone at the number provided above.

It is worth noting that individuals such as Sebastian Cuny (a member of the SPD and parliament) and Stefan Schmutz (noted for local community development) are active in Zuber's environment and could potentially provide information about his surroundings. Additionally, local officials like the longtime mayor Rainer Ziegler and the environmental office head from Ladenburg are also part of the network that might know about his environment.

The police are continuing their investigations, including into any further suspects. The arrest warrants were issued and executed in Romania on August 21, 2020. The 6th Homicide Commission is continuing investigations into Zuber's case, and the public's cooperation is greatly appreciated.
