Man Escapes from LVR Clinic for Second Time in Nine Days
A 41-year-old Moroccan man has escaped for the second time in nine days from the forensic psychiatry department at the LVR Clinic in Langenfeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. His first escape was on July 14, 2025, and the second on July 23, 2025.
The man, who has a history of drug-induced mental illness, was committed to the clinic after committing multiple burglaries and thefts. During his initial escape, he broke into an apartment before being apprehended by law enforcement.
The latest escape occurred through a hole in the security fence, and the clinic has not commented on rumors that the escapes may be attempts to avoid deportation. The investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances of the escape, including whether there was any external assistance.
The man is suspected to have communicated with unknown individuals prior to the escape and is believed to have had a mobile phone. However, no information is available on whether the mobile phone was recovered.
