Mehmet Scholl and Family Overpower Intruder Who Entered Daughter’s Bedroom

Overview

• A 48-year-old man gained access to the Scholl family home in Solln through an apparently open terrace door in the early hours of Monday and moved through the house before going to the older daughter's bedroom.
• Reports say the intruder ate food, showered, left a backpack and shoes outside, then attempted to lie in the 20-year-old daughter's bed, prompting a physical confrontation.
• The daughter and her boyfriend confronted and restrained the man and Mehmet Scholl joined them; they held him until police arrived and the suspect suffered a reported head wound during the struggle.
• Munich police have lodged preliminary charges including sexual coercion and trespass and Kommissariat 15, the unit for sexual offenses, has opened an investigation.
• Officers placed the suspect in a psychiatric facility because of apparent psychiatric abnormalities, a step that will focus the case on medical and forensic evaluation while investigators seek motive and the man’s medical history.
