A 31-year-old man allegedly murdered his wife in Titisee-Neustadt (district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald). The man from the East African country of Eritrea was remanded in custody, according to police and the public prosecutor’s office on Monday.
The body of the 25-year-old woman was detected in the couple’s flat on Friday. The woman had been killed with several knife wounds. The police searched for the suspected husband until they were able to arrest him on Sunday night.
Officials assume that interpersonal conflicts were at the root of the crime and that there was no danger to the public.
