This is a shocking incident. A German amateur soccer player, whose wedding was just two weeks away, was suddenly arrested by police on suspicion of poisoning a teammate, sending shockwaves through the community.

British outlet 'The Sun' reported on the 7th (Korean time) that "Marius, a 35-year-old soccer player belonging to German amateur club TuS Rockenberg, was arrested on suspicion of fatally poisoning a teammate just two weeks before his wedding."

According to reports, Marius is suspected of secretly administering poison to his teammate Philip (30) during the team's end-of-season trip to Dresden, Germany. At the time, the victim felt unwell at the travel destination; his condition rapidly deteriorated immediately after returning home. Despite being rushed to the hospital following an emergency call from family members and undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he ultimately passed away the next day.

The cause of death was confirmed as septic multiple organ failure caused by poison. 'The Sun' explained that "the victim was initially believed to have suffered a simple seafood food poisoning incident due to having eaten fish during the trip. Subsequently, investigators identified Marius as a prime suspect after tracing the evidence."

According to 'The Sun', a local prosecutor stated via media that "this incident is suspected to be an act of revenge." Rumors in Rockenberg suggest the two players had been in conflict over a woman.

Marius, currently held in custody awaiting trial, has made no statements regarding the alleged crime. Having already registered his marriage at the local district office after the incident, he was scheduled to hold his wedding ceremony this month.

The club and the victim's family are reeling from shock and grief. Manuel Baruf, general manager of TuS Rockenberg, said, "It is unbelievable. All members of the club were surprised and shocked. No one could have anticipated such an event. We hope the police will clarify the truth."

The club mourned Philip, stating, "He was our friend, a fighter on the field, and a person with a warm heart," while the family expressed their deep sorrow, saying, "He was someone with a hearty laugh, quiet consideration, and a big heart."
