The son of former German president Richard von Weizsaecker was stabbed to death while he was giving a lecture at a hospital in Berlin where he worked as a head physician, police said yesterday.
A 57-year-old man is in custody after a man jumped up from the audience at the Schlosspark-Klinik and attacked Fritz von Weizsaecker with a knife on Tuesday evening. Another man who tried to stop the attack was seriously wounded.
鈥淲e cannot yet say anything about the attacker鈥檚 motive,鈥 said police spokesman Michael Gassen, adding that the suspect is still being questioned.
Von Weizsaecker died at the scene despite immediate attention from colleagues.
The 59-year-old was the son of one of Germany鈥檚 most esteemed presidents, who was the country鈥檚 head of state 鈥 a largely ceremonial post 鈥 from 1984 to 1994. The former president died in 2015.
Fritz von Weizaecker was one of the ex-president鈥檚 four children. His sister Beatrice von Weizsaecker posted a picture of Jesus on the Cross on Instagram after the murder of her brother.
Von Weizsaecker studied and worked at several hospitals in Germany and abroad.
