allegedly shot Walter Lübcke in 2019 over his support for refugees
German prosecutors have formally charged a known neo-Nazi with the June 2019 murder of a pro-refugee politician
the first in a string of recent far-right killings
Federal investigators said 45-year-old Stephan Ernst drove to Walter Lübcke’s house in Wolfhagen, central Germany, on the evening of 1 June 2019.
He crept up under cover of darkness to the terrace where Lübcke sat before shooting him in the head with a revolver.
Ernst’s “racism and xenophobia founded on an ethnic-nationalist attitude were decisive in the act”, prosecutors said in a statement.
Read moreThe suspect and his fellow accused
had attended a political meeting in October 2015 where Lübcke argued in favour of accommodating refugees in the town of Lohfelden
Ernst “from the time of the meeting increasingly projected his xenophobia on to Dr Walter Lübcke”
a regional politician from Angela Merkel’s centre-right CDU party
Following mass sexual assaults against women in Cologne on New Year’s Eve 2015 and a July 2016 terror attack in the French city of Nice
Ernst began spying on Lübcke in preparation for the murder
travelling repeatedly to the politician’s house to make his plans
who is charged with complicity in the murder
helped Ernst train with firearms in forests and at gun clubs between 2016 and 2018
Ernst had already inflicted “serious wounds” to the chest and spine of an Iraqi asylum-seeker living in Lohfelden in a January 2016 knife attack that left the victim in intensive care
the main suspect in Lübcke’s killing held “several firearms and ammunition that he had acquired illegally”
1,400 rounds of ammunition and a submachine gun
H was found to be in possession of a deactivated submachine gun
After the arrests, Ernst had initially confessed to Lübcke’s murder
but in January this year he retracted the admission and said H had shot the politician
But prosecutors remain convinced that while H “accepted and supported” the danger Ernst posed
he “was not familiar with the actual plans for the attack”
The killing was followed by an October attack on a synagogue in the eastern city of Halle that left two dead
while a gunman shot dead nine people of migrant backgrounds in the central town of Hanau in February
Perpetrators in both attacks posted racist screeds online
has since declared far-right extremism the “biggest security threat facing Germany”
