Liechtenstein police said Thursday that their German counterparts had found what was believed to be the body of a self-styled "Robin Hood" suspected of killing a banker in the Alpine statelet. Police have been hunting for Juergen Hermann since April, when the shooting rocked the tiny principality where violent crime is unusual, sparking a massive manhunt. The clothing and jewelry on the body indicate that it may be that of the suspect Juergen Hermann," they said in a statement. In a separate statement, police in the German state of Bavaria said the body of a man was spotted by a fisherman on Thursday in Lake Constance, which is shared by Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Police in Liechtenstein said Monday that a self-styled "Robin Hood" suspected of killing a banker in a financial feud is believed to have committed suicide, but that efforts to locate him continued. Liechtenstein police said officers had found Juergen Hermann's driving licence and his passport, the latter containing a hand-written note in which he confessed to the shooting and bid farewell to the world. Hermann, an engineer, financier and technology investor, is the prime suspect in Monday's fatal shooting of Juergen Frick, the boss of Liechtenstein's Bank Frick. Hermann, who calls himself the "Robin Hood of Liechtenstein" on his website, has spent seven years sparring with Bank Frick and the tax haven's government over what he alleges is wrongdoing that has cost him huge sums.
