Murder of Michèle Kiesewetter

Michèle Kiesewetter[1] (10 October 1984 – 25 April 2007) was a German police officer who was killed by neo-Nazi terrorists.

When the police and the ambulance arrived on the scene, both officers were lying on the ground, next to their car, and their handguns and handcuffs were stolen.

The investigations were concentrated in a special task force "parking lot" at the Heilbronn police department.

[2][3] Kiesewetter's service pistol, a Heckler & Koch P2000, was later retrieved, along with that of her colleague, when Uwe Böhnhardt and Uwe Mundlos, two German neo-Nazis, committed suicide in Eisenach, Germany, on 4 November 2011, revealing the connection to the "Bosphorus murders".

[clarify] Forensic experts also found traces of DNA on evidence recovered from among the remains of the neo-Nazi trio's flat at Zwickau that further strengthen the link.
