Gießen / Friedberg | Twenty or so years ago, Adem Bozkurt died in a car accident in Hesse. At least, that's what it looked like – at first glance. Now investigate the police and prosecutors for the murder. For the motorist, who was found dead in April 1997, was killed with a neckstroke, according to police and prosecutors – and did not die as a result of the accident. A witness gave the investigators the crucial clue. The motive of the crime could have been business disputes with toilets in the motorway service areas.

The investigators have now come to the public with the spectacular case, they are hoping for evidence from the perpetrators. The criminal case will be presented on Wednesday, July 25, also in the ZDF program "Aktenzeichen XY … unresolved".

Circumstances pointing to an accident

But how could the investigators at that time neglect a neck? Front view: Turk Adem Bozkurt, 45, was found dead on 4 April 1997 in Ober-Mörlen in Wetterau. The car in which the man was sitting alone had apparently hit a tree. The circumstances, including the injuries of the 45-year-old man, had alluded to a fatal accident. It has been waived a legal medical examination, report investigators.
