His neighbors describe Frank P.* (57) as a strange contemporary. The divorce from his girlfriend is said to have affected the painter mentally upon his early retirement. That reports “Bild”. A reporter from the newspaper addressed the residents of the high-rise building in Ratingen near Düsseldorf (D), where an operation kept the security forces busy for hours.

A neighbor tells how P. became violent towards him. “On October 26 last year, he hit me in the face with his fist. Completely without warning in the hallway,” reports the neighbor. He held the door open for P. He thanked him, walked a few meters further – and struck.

The neighbor confronted P. But he only threatened: “You’ll get another one in a minute!” The police arrived and recorded the case.

The neighbor describes P. as a “weird odd man out” and says: “He still walked around with a mask on his face, although it had been a long time since he had to wear it.” Strange, because the police have concrete indications that P. could be a corona denier.

Frank P. is a prepper

The resident also remembers the mother († 91) of the suspect, who lived with P. in the same apartment. “The mother was in a wheelchair. She was a nice, well-groomed woman,” he says. After the operation she was found dead. When exactly the old lady died has not yet been definitively clarified. At the time of the crime, she was been dead for a few weeks.
