A book of condolences is available in Leipzig's New Town Hall following the rampage through Leipzig city center that left two people dead. In it, mourners can express their sympathy and condolences for the relatives of the victims. It will be available from 12.30 p.m. in the lower lobby of the New Town Hall in the city center, the city administration announced. Mayor Burkhardt Jung (SPD) has already signed the register.
Together with Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU), the head of the city hall will lay flowers in memory of the victims on Leipzig's Augustusplatz in the afternoon. At 5 p.m., both will take part in a memorial service in the Nikolai Church in the city center. Just a few meters away, a 33-year-old suspect had driven his vehicle several hundred meters through a busy shopping street on Monday afternoon, killing two people and injuring numerous others.
