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.

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.
