The son of former German President Richard von Weizaecker was killed during a lecture on Tuesday evening after an audience member brutally attacked him with a knife, police said.
Dr. Fritz von Weizsaecker, 59, was presenting a lecture about fatty liver disease at the Schlosspark-Klinik medical clinic where he worked in Berlin when police say a 57-year-old German man jumped up from the audience and attacked him with a knife.
Authorities have not released the identity or motive of the suspect, who remains in police custody, but did add that he was not a patient at the hospital.
Von Weizaecker was the son of one of Germany’s most esteemed presidents, Richard von Weizsaecker, who became West Germany’s head of state in 1984 and, when the country was unified, became the first president of the new nation serving until 1994.

Ingrid Bergman?
Comments suggest the perp is Vietnamese and the murder was in retaliation for a German company headed by the father that produced Agent Orange ingredients of all things. Just bizarre if true.
If he was in pieces, it just might be The Religion of that...
The victim was the grandson of Ernst von Weizsäcker, who was Ambassador to the Holy See in the latter part of WW2.
Not necessarily. The photo they had of him, only of his arms, showed white skin....
I suspect it’s just a nut-case, not religiously motivated.
“... police say a 57-year-old German man jumped up from the audience and attacked him with a knife.”
Interesting that they felt the need to highlight that he was a “German” man. Makes me very suspicious that he wasn’t German a couple of years ago.
And the shark's fins are red when it spills blood, but Mack the Knife wears a glove upon which one can see no trace.
Was the attackers name “Hadji Jihadi”?
Maybe it’s a Muslim, but remember the doctor in Houston who was killed by the son of a patient that died years before.
Could be.
Most of the time when you see hoof prints it's from a Horse, but you might see hoof prints from a Zebra occasionally.
Usually a horse though.
Mennonite? Annabaptist? 7th Day Adventurer?
I’ll take a WAG (Wild-Assed Guess)...
muslim(SPIT!)
A scorned lover?
Total nutjob who wanted to kill the doctor’s father 30 years ago because he was connected with developing agent orange.
Said this is revenge for the Vietnam people.
Thanks. That beats all the wild eyed speculation.
