German local politician killed with shot to the head

Luebcke, of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's centre-right CDU party, was found around 0:30 am local time Sunday (2230 GMT Saturday) on the terrace of his home in Wolfhagen, near Kassel in the central state of Hesse.

He had been shot in the head at close range with a handgun, police said.

His CDU party said in a statement that Luebcke, a married father of two, had "never been afraid to speak his mind".

Germany's top-selling daily Bild pointed out that Luebcke had in 2015, during a mass influx of migrants to Germany, strongly spoken out for the rights of refugees, drawing anger from far-right activists.
