In episode 39, the podcast “Mord zum Sonntag” unravels a mysterious double murder in Düsseldorf. At that time the trail led to East Hesse.

Fulda/Düsseldorf – A quiet residential area in Düsseldorf. A family that appears completely inconspicuous from the outside. But on the morning of June 17, 2010, a man rang the doorbell – supposedly a postman with a package. A little later two people are dead.

Crime podcast “Murder on Sunday” (39): Contract murder from Düsseldorf

What initially seems like a mysterious double murder turns into one of the most complex investigations in Düsseldorf's criminal history. An audio recording of the emergency call, a dialect from East Hesse and months of investigation ultimately lead to a shocking suspicion.

At the center is a man from Burghaun in the Fulda district – the family's own son. Why would someone have their stepfather and half-sister killed? And how does a drug-addicted young man become a contract killer?
