Munich Manager Shot Dead

Mon 18th Jan, 2010

Munich manager Dirk von Poschinger-Camphausen has been shot dead. The body of the 36-year-old had 10-13 shot wounds, police said on Monday. The manager was reported missing last Thursday by his wife, says Muenchener Merkur. The investment manager from Bogenhausen and father of two children was murdered by thieves. They probably aimed to steal his car. Poschinger advertised his new top-equipped Audi A8 TDI quattro for sale on the Internet - for the relatively low price of 53,999 euros. He also gave personal information about himself: his name, contact details and even his home address. This offer is likely to have attracted the attention of the robbers. On Saturday, the police found his car, the Audi A8, which he wanted to sell the day he disappeared. Nearby was found the van in which the manager was found dead. Two suspects were arrested. Those arrested deny the crime.
