E/CN.4/1996/72 page 22 13. There was damage of 50,000 deutsche marks. No one was injured in the incident. It is alleged that this arson attack had racist motivations. Observations 14. The facts of the case are confirmed. According to the police investigations, one must assume arson. To date the investigations concerning the offender or offenders have been without success. 15. As yet, there have been no indications that the offence was xenophobically motivated. The Cakmak family also state that they have not been bothered in this sense before. 16. On 29 April 1995 there was another case of arson concerning relatives of the Cakmaks, also in Reichelsheim. The police investigations revealed strong suspicion against the son of the owner of the apartment, who is also the owner of the house affected by the arson attack of 12 December 1994. The latter is presently serving a prison sentence on work release from Frankfurt IV Prison. He is also accused of inciting a co-inmate to commit the offence. The police investigations into this matter have not yet been concluded.

It has been reported that Sinan Kadioglu and his five-year-old son Muhammed Kadioglu (of Turkish origin) died in an arson attack in the village of Reichertshofen near Ingolstadt. The fire started around 7 a.m. in a workshop attached to a house on Margarethen Street and spread to the kitchen. The mother Gulsum Kadioglu, and three other children (Sultan, Sevda and Mustafa Kadioglu) escaped by jumping out of the window in the second floor. The 38-year-old father returned to the smoke-filled house to search for his son. There was an explosion in the second floor while he was inside and the father and son were both killed. The Kadioglu family had been living in Ingolstadt since 1978. 18. Sources claim that quite a number of neo-Nazis in the neighbouring towns of Faubourg and Rockfolding frequently come to Reichertshofen. Nine-year-old Mustafa Kadioglu said that a group of neo-Nazis had recently come to his school.
