Five bodies were found by the police in the salons of two cars near the railway station, and the sixth victim of the crime died in an ambulance carriage, AP reports with reference to the German-secretary of German-Joseph Helmikh.
All six killed had firearms of their heads, added a policeman.
According to the source, it is not yet known who committed this mass murder. However, it has already been established that "all the killed young people are Italians, residents of the Calabria region," Interfax reports with reference to the Italian branch of Interpol.
According to the Calabria police, “all of them (dead) belonged to one of the two“ mafia families ”of the community of San Luke. Therefore, the result is worked out that the wage killers of the“ family ”of the S welander-Nirta came to Duisburg to deal with the members of the hostile clan of the Pell-Romeo clan.
Direct witnesses of crimes are not known to the investigation. One of the eyewitnesses was attracted by the sound of a passing car and shooting, after which about 4:30 in the morning by local time and cars with corpses in the cabin were discovered.
“The witness heard the shots and stopped the police car, which accidentally turned out to be nearby,” Skynews quoted the words of the police Rainhard Papa.
The police add that all those killed were young people, 20-30 years old. The minivan, in which the dead were found, was registered in Duysburg itself, and the second car, a white Volkswagen, arrived in a city from Portskhaim in the southwest of Germany.
Currently, the police are exploring the place of the tragedy, collecting, in particular, 70 shooting sleeves. However, shed rain interferes with the search for evidence.
