A threatening note from the suspect was discovered near the crime scene in Munich, where previous explosions had occurred. The city police reported this on October 1, stating that during the preliminary investigation, a letter written by the suspect was found. The document contained an unspecified threat to use explosives linked to Oktoberfest.
The suspect lacked permits for firearms and explosives. Investigators confirmed he committed suicide near Lake Lerchenau, carrying a backpack with an undetonated explosive device. Two individuals were injured in the incident: the 81-year-old mother of the suspect and his 21-year-old daughter, both hospitalized. The police emphasized there are currently “no signs of danger” elsewhere in Munich, as they continue to investigate the circumstances.
The Oktoberfest event was temporarily suspended after authorities received a bomb threat, which may have been connected to an explosion at a house in northern Munich. A letter provided to the police indicated the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute over inheritance.
