Almost 24 years after the crime, the Baselbieter police have identified the alleged perpetrator of a homicide in Münchenstein BL. The man, who lives in Germany, was extradited to the Basel-Landschaft prosecution authorities in December 2023.
In October 2000, a 21-year-old man was fatally injured in his car in Münchenstein. The police and public prosecutor's office quickly established a link to drug-related crime, as the public prosecutor's office announced on Wednesday. However, the search for the perpetrator was unsuccessful at the time.
Thanks to new forensic possibilities, however, it has now been possible to track down a suspected perpetrator. He is a 59-year-old Swiss national living in Germany. He was extradited at the beginning of December 2023 and has been in custody since then, according to the press release.
The public prosecutor's office in Baselland has opened a criminal investigation. The presumption of innocence applies.
