A German neo-Nazi has been jailed for life for the murder of Walter Lübcke, a pro-immigration politician with Angela Merkel’s CDU.
Lübcke, a regional governor for the centre-right governing party, was shot in the head on the terrace of his home in Wolfhagen-Istha, near Kassel, on the night of 2 June 2019, in what is considered the first political assassination with a rightwing extremist motive since the end of the Nazi era.
