- Woman dead in Söhrewald - suspect arrested
On Sunday afternoon, a deceased 46-year-old woman was found in Soehrewald, leading to the arrest of a suspect on Tuesday. As reported by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Kassel today, a 62-year-old man was issued a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of manslaughter.
The suspect, currently believed to be an acquaintance of the deceased, reportedly turned himself in due to the intense search. He is suspected of having killed the woman last Wednesday in that forest section using blunt force, and was subsequently taken into custody. The exact sequence of events and the motive behind the crime are still under investigation.
Two mushroom pickers discovered the woman's body on Sunday in a bush in the Kaufunger Forest, near a road in Soehrewald.
The investigation into the woman's death is also exploring other potential witnesses or evidence that could shed light on the case. Despite intense media coverage, no other individuals have come forward with relevant information as of yet.
