The bodies of a 50-year-old man and an unidentified woman were found in two suitcases in Schlossgarten at 5.50pm after two people who had left a barbecue noticed a trail of blood and called the police.

The suitcases were hidden behind a concrete wall near Felix-Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Allee, police said in a statement on Monday.

“The background and circumstances of the offence are completely open,” police said. A 40-strong team of officers has been set up to investigate the suspected murders.

An autopsy on the bodies is set to take place on Tuesday.

A 36-year-old man died from his injuries at the scene, while a 23-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he later died, police said on Saturday evening.

The same evening, police arrested a 57-year-old suspect – said to be a Russian national – who lives near the crime scene.

The 57-year-old is now being investigated on suspicion of murder.

“The exact course of events, background and motive are now the subject of the criminal investigation,” the police said.

The public prosecutor’s office has applied for a warrant for the suspect’s arrest.
