'Pink Panther' murders see Nazi ghosts return to haunt Germany...

(...)

There, at 26 Fruhlingsstrasse, a police cordon still surrounds the charred remains of a yellow, three-storey wooden house that is the last known address of Uwe Mundlos, 38, his friend Uwe Böhnhardt, 34, and their alleged female accomplice Beate Zschäpe, 36, all said to be core members of the self-styled National Socialist Underground.

A secret cell dedicated to creating a Fourth Reich, its members are thought to have gunned down eight Turks, a Greek, and a German policewoman since 1998, as well carrying out 14 bank robberies and two bombings.

Yet their 13-year crime spree came to light only on the afternoon of November 4, when the bodies of Mundlos and Böhnhardt were found in a camper van in a nearby town, having apparently killed themselves after robbing a building society that morning.

 Just hours afterwards, their flat in Zwickau was set ablaze allegedly by Miss Zschäpe, who turned herself into police, reportedly saying: "I'm the one you're looking for." Full story...
