Frankfurt Update

I essayed a piece yesterday over this murder at the Frankfurt railway station....with the African guy from Switzerland who'd pushed three into the line of an oncoming train.....one getting out of the way, and the mother crawling out of the line....with the train only killing the lady's son.

Well....cops have said a bit more.

This guy, from Eritrea, had been living for 13 years in Switzerland....was married and had a couple of kids.  Up until January, he'd always been employed....but for some reason....was let go early in the year.  No reason given.

Strangely enough, Swiss cops have looking for the guy since the 25th.  What they say is that he got into a disturbance with a neighbor in the building and threatened them with a knife.  When the cops arrived....this guy had fled.

Adding more to the story.....this guy had been a model of integration, and used for positive articles around Switzerland for the past decade. 

At some point last year, he had some kind of stress or anxiety problem.  The hint is that he spent some time in a treatment center.  No one says the problem, but it would suggest that he was probably on some type of medication effort.

If you read through all the material....no one in Switzerland ever considered the guy a threat up until last week with the confrontation with the neighbor.
