Castrop-Rauxel (NRW) - A dramatic police operation unfolded on Thursday evening when a 57-year-old man was found fatally injured in a bush on the outskirts of Castrop-Rauxel, Nordrhein-Westfalen. The investigation suggests that the victim was stabbed by a known associate during a dispute over money. After two days of searching for the suspect, 36-year-old Enver G. has surrendered to authorities. The incident occurred around 6:40 PM when police were alerted to a heavily injured individual in the foliage. Upon arrival, officers discovered the 57-year-old victim, who was later pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of first responders to revive him. Initial reports indicate that the violent altercation stemmed from a financial disagreement between the victim and his business partner. Authorities have detailed a chilling scenario in which Enver G. allegedly devised a plan to lure the victim into a confrontation. According to prosecutors, he instructed a female acquaintance to arrange a meeting with the victim, who unsuspectingly entered her vehicle at the Castrop train station. Once inside the car, the situation escalated rapidly. Enver G. reportedly initiated a discussion about unresolved money issues, leading to a heated argument. Prosecutors state that during this confrontation, Enver G. directed the driver to a secluded street in Castrop-Rauxel, where the stabbing took place on the backseat. Witnesses later confirmed that the victim was stabbed multiple times before being abandoned near a field, where he succumbed to his injuries. The pair in the Hyundai fled the scene, but police quickly located the vehicle about five kilometers away in Recklinghausen. By that time, Enver G. had already fled the scene on foot, while the female driver, aged 26, was detained for questioning but was later released. The police conducted a thorough search that lasted until the early hours of the morning, deploying a large unit, helicopters, and tracking dogs to find the suspect. In the afternoon, investigators released several images of Enver G. as part of their public appeal for information. Under the pressure of the ongoing manhunt, he voluntarily appeared at a police station on Saturday evening, accompanied by his attorney. Due to an existing arrest warrant, he was immediately placed in custody pending further investigation. Authorities believe that the fatal confrontation was fueled by unresolved issues related to financial transactions, with Enver G. feeling wronged by the victim over money owed for a business deal involving mobile phones. The case remains under investigation as authorities work to piece together the events leading up to this tragic loss of life.
