The Commission believes it has the authority to make a decision regarding the application of the directive, as stated in their viewpoint.
In the heart of Hagen, Germany, on December 22, 2024, a shocking incident occurred in the district of Wehringhausen, leaving two men injured by stab wounds.
However, in line with standard practice, the public was not privy to the specific details of the investigation. The Hagen Police's Homicide Commission, often referred to as "Soko Kripo" or "Homicide Commission," typically does not disclose the name of the leading person or the full personnel identity of such a commission. Instead, a general title is used, such as "Soko X" (e.g., "Soko Schwerer Raub" or similar).
For the specific case in Wehringhausen, there is no public information available about a named or personally identified "Homicide Commission" of the Hagen Police. Such a naming would be unusual and is not common practice in German media. Typically, reports only mention "Staatsanwaltschaft und Polizei ermitteln" (Public Prosecutor's Office and Police investigating) or similar, without revealing the names of the investigators or the internal working title of the commission.
Press releases from the Hagen Police or the Public Prosecutor's Office seldom name individual investigators. The media, in general, report neutrally and protect the identities of the investigators. While "Soko-names" (like in sensational serial cases) may appear in the press, they are rarely officially confirmed.
If you are interested in more details about the case, it is recommended to contact the Press Office of the Hagen Police or submit an inquiry to the Westfälischer Anzeiger, the local newspaper that covers current investigations in the region. The Lagezentrum der Polizei NRW can also provide information about general procedures.
In summary, a specifically named or personally identifiable designation of the investigation group is not common in this context. The investigation proceeds within the Criminal Police, but the public usually only learns that the police are "working under high pressure."
