Far-right motive seen in German pro-migrant official's gun murder German prosecutors say they suspect a far-right motive in the assassination-style gun murder of a pro-migrant city official that stunned the country. A man in custody, identified only as 45-year-old Stephan E., is believed to have killed Kassel city administration chief Luebcke on June 2, making the night-time killing of Walter Luebcke, 65, with a close-range gun shot to the head "a political assassination," according to prosecutors.
