Police in southern Germany are hunting a man who attacked and raped one woman taxi driver before stabbing another to death.
People in the Singen area north east of Lake Constance fear the man may strike again, while police cannot tell them not to worry, a spokesman admitted.
“The uncertainty among local people is of course considerable,” he said. “And at the moment we simply cannot give them the all-clear.”
The man kidnapped a 44-year-old taxi driver in Singen on Tuesday, seriously wounding and then raping her, police confirmed.
A day later he stabbed a 23-year-old woman taxi driver to death in Hagnau, not far away.
