DUISBURG, GERMANY (AP) - German prosecutors say they are investigating whether negligent manslaughter was involved in the deaths of 19 people killed in a crush at the Love Parade techno festival.
But Duisburg prosecutors’ spokesman Rolf Haferkamp said Monday the probe is currently against persons unknown rather than anyone specific.
Many people are asking who was to blame for the tragedy Saturday near a tunnel that was the only entrance to the festival grounds.
It remains unclear what triggered the panic, but it appears that people trying to escape the surging crowd climbed up a metal stairway in front of the tunnel and then fell into the crowd.
