On the 25th of November, a man (27) who was executed was discovered in a wooded area in Kaltenkirchen, Schleswig-Holstein - his name was Reols H. A 17-year-old individual later confessed to the police, accompanied by his lawyer, saying, "I killed a man, he's lying next to the 'Holsten Therme'."

At the location where the body was found, Qerim D. refused to show the Crime Investigation Department where the victim's body was positioned. A sniffer dog then discovered the lifeless 27-year-old. No DNA traces were present on D.

However, Senior Public Prosecutor Peter Müller-Rakow derived from the current facts, "This confession has been confirmed by extensive investigations, which relate to the crime scene and evidence carriers." D. has been charged with manslaughter. He allegedly murdered an individual aged 27 with a bullet from a handgun at a shisha bar on the 21st or 22nd of November, according to Müller-Rakow.
