HAMBURG - One by one, black body bags under flurries of snow are wheeled out from the unassuming Jehovah’s Witness centre where six people were killed in the German city of Hamburg.

“It really upsets me,” says Ms Tatjana Popczy, who lives just 200m from the centre where a former member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses burst into a service at around 9pm on Thursday , killing six people. “It doesn’t matter where it is, it’s awful,” says Ms Popczy as a clutch of people come to pay their respects and place flowers in front of a sign displaying the centre’s opening hours.Across the road, residents in a large apartment complex describe the Jehovah’s Witnesses opposite as “discreet”.

“On the video, you can see that someone broke a window, you can hear shots fired and see that someone broke in,” the elder Mr Miebach says.The suspect killed himself after police arrived.
