Crime - 25-year-old man in custody after homicide in Weingarten
After a murder attempt on a 52-year-old woman in the Landkreis Karlsruhe, a suspect is in custody. A remand order was issued against the 25-year-old by a judge, as reported by the police and prosecutor's office. The man from Montenegro is suspected of seriously injuring the woman with a knife in Weingarten on Tuesday night, causing her to die in her apartment.
The Criminal Police are still investigating the exact circumstances of the attack, according to a statement. "It is known so far that the 25-year-old and the 52-year-old woman were in a relationship with each other." What exactly that means remained unclear at first.
Someone from the vicinity of the house in the 10,000-inhabitant community had heard the alarm call shortly after midnight, as the police reported. In the search for the suspect, a helicopter was also used. The police arrested the 25-year-old near the apartment. He had hidden himself.
The woman's emergency call caused concern in the quiet district of Karlsruhe. The incident escalated into a serious crime, highlighting the importance of reporting emergencies promptly. The police in Baden-Württemberg are handling the homicide case with utmost urgency. The public prosecutor's office is closely monitoring the situation, assessing evidence from the vineyards near the crime scene. Despite being in Germany, the suspect's origins in Montenegro have raised intriguing questions.
