An unidentified 31-year-old American man has been charged with murder and other offenses for attacking two female U.S. tourists near a castle in Germany in June. Prosecutors announced Thursday that the American suspect is facing charges of murder, rape with fatal consequences, attempted murder, and possession of child pornography after pushing the women into a ravine, and fatally injuring one of them.

Prosecutors say the suspect met the two female tourists, ages 21 and 22, by chance on a hiking path and lured them off the trail. In a statement, German prosecutors say that the man forced the older woman to the ground and tried to undress her.

She fell about 165 feet and sustained minor injuries. According to officials, the suspect then allegedly strangled the younger woman until she was unconscious and raped her before pushing her down the slope. She succumbed to her injuries and died. Prosecutors said they also secured a laptop and cellphones from the suspect containing child sexual abuse material. Authorities say the women did not know the man before they met, and the suspect was arrested shortly after the attack. Due to Germany privacy laws, the suspect’s name has not been released. Prosecutors say the case was filed at the state court in Kempten, which will have to decide whether and when to send the case to trial. The Associated Press contributed to this story.
