This took place in the "branch-town" of Selters in Germany in front of more than 30 other witnesses.
It was a knife-stabbing that took place without a word or anything in advance that could explain why it happened.
Quite a tragedy...

(if one puts the url in google-translate, one might understand what it is all about for those who do not speak German).
frankly, i am surprised that this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. as wound up as the dubs are, it would seem that life's pressure cooker would cause more to snap when they are not given any kind of justice (not saying that is the case here, just making a generalisation).
i know when i was having severe problems with a violent spouse, the elders did nothing except blame me for 'not studying more with her' ... so she attacks me and i get counseled ... perhaps something happened between these two and the elduh's did their usual nothing except make the victim feel bad .. and then the victim snapped ... (a theory, at any rate)
google translation can get some strange renderings:
The injured, who worked in the headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany soda, died an hour later.
soda of course should be Selters....
It appears that there is some distinction in the information on the killer´s relations to the JW... One source states that he has been baptized for two years. A policemen stated he was taking steps to become a member..
the murder took place in the Kingdom Hall...
Pretty dramatic pictures here in Bild Zeitung:
