The row started when the cashier, a student, told the customer to put on a face mask, as required in all German shops. After a brief argument, the man left.
The suspect then returned about an hour and a half later, this time wearing a mask. But as he brought his six-pack of beer to the till, he took off the mask and another discussion ensued.
He told police he felt"cornered" by the coronavirus measures, which he perceived as an"ever-growing infringement on his rights" and he had seen"no other way out", Fuhrmann said. Katrin Goering-Eckardt, the parliamentary leader of the Green party, tweeted that she was"deeply shaken" by the killing, which she said was"the cruel result of hatred".
