The alleged poison attack at the Technical University (TU) Darmstadt is said to have been committed by a 32-year-old student from Mainz. Seven people were injured as a result.
The police and public prosecutor’s office in Darmstadt announced on Thursday that the 32-year-old from Mainz was suspected of attempted murder. Since she is said to have committed the act while not being guilty, she was provisionally placed in a psychiatric hospital.
According to the investigators, the suspect came into focus as a result of the trace analysis. She was taken to the hospital on Wednesday on suspicion that she may not be guilty because of a mental illness. The 32-year-old is said to be a student at the TU herself.
On August 23, the police in Darmstadt went on an hour-long large-scale operation because of the incident. Seven people developed “serious health problems, including symptoms of poisoning” after they drank and ate something in building L2.01 of the Materials and Geosciences department of the university on the Lichtwiese campus.
Two people were taken to a hospital in Frankfurt am Main. The other victims only complained of feeling unwell. A 30-year-old was temporarily in mortal danger. His skin had turned blue from the poisoning. According to the public prosecutor, the seven injured are members of the TU.
