Killing in Kaiserslautern - Fatal knife attack probably followed sexual harassment
A lethal stabbing attack against a 64-year-old man at Kaiserslautern Main Station is likely preceded by sexual harassment against the suspecting woman. The 20-year-old woman is in custody, as the Kaiserslautern Prosecutor's Office announced on Monday. On the image material of the Hauptbahnhof's video surveillance, it is recognizable how the 64-year-old man grabs the 20-year-old woman on a moving walkway and approaches her chair.
A quarrel then ensued in the station's underpass, during which the woman pulled out a folding knife, opened it, and pointed it at the 64-year-old man, who stepped back, as can be seen on the recordings. The 20-year-old woman is then said to have attacked the man with the knife. The 64-year-old man was reportedly stabbed in the chest area, according to a spokesperson for the Prosecutor's Office. He died in the hospital on the same day. The exact course of events is the subject of further investigations. The 20-year-old woman is now being investigated for manslaughter. The woman and the man were previously unknown to each other.
The suspect surrendered to the police shortly after the incident, as they were searching for her. The reason for the arrest warrant is stated to be a possible flight risk by the Prosecutor's Office.
