Attempted manslaughter ? Never thought I'd say this, but I take my hat off to a German for not thumping someone !

Why hide his face? If he is guilty then there should be no issue of making the public aware of who he is and what he looks like.  They already stated his name. 

He has not been found guilty yet, that's why he's entitled to have his face obscured.
