Stabbing incident - Seriously injured woman; presumed assailant perished
In Quakenbrück, a 35-year-old woman was stabbed, prompting a manhunt for the alleged assailant. The perpetrator, believed to be the ex-partner, was eventually found dead in an apartment nearby. Initial reports indicate that the incident might have been a suicide.
The victim, who sustained severe knife wounds, was treated at the scene by emergency services and taken to the hospital. Thankfully, the woman is expected to recover, while her two children - a 10-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy - were unharmed during the attack. They are currently being looked after.
Neighbors alerted the authorities after finding the woman with multiple stab wounds on the sidewalk outside a building on Sunday morning. The suspect had fled the scene prior to the police arrival. The police then launched an extensive search operation, aided by a helicopter in the pursuit of the attacker. The ex-partner was found deceased shortly after.
The authorities confirmed there was no indication of a link to any foreign influence in the case and stated that an investigation had been initiated. Further details about the background have been withheld to protect personal privacy.
