WaPo Berlin S04E12 - Romeos Tod

When the body of retiree Günther Puschke is found near the Glienicke Bridge, it initially appears to be an accident. However, forensic pathologist Dr. Dillinger discovers that the elderly man died from an overdose of sedatives.

Since Günther Puschke was registered at a senior residence in Brandenburg, Jasmin calls in her colleague Axel Sommer, who knows the Parkaue residence all too well. His father, Kurt Sommer, also lives there and complicates the investigation with his tall tales.

It soon emerges that the victim, Günther Puschke, once worked as a "Romeo agent" for the Ministry for State Security. According to the residence director Julian Tietz, Axel's father and Puschke had been constantly at odds, with the source of their disputes being the newcomer Rosemarie Schindler.

Axel, in turn, suspects medical student Lara Kolle, who teaches yoga at the residence. Puschke had mentioned to her that he was very wealthy. Was this the reason he had to die?
