A gruesome murder shocks the community of Witzeeze in Schleswig-Holstein. A 59-year-old man apparently shot his ex-wife there – the mother of his four children. He lay in wait for her in the woods – probably out of wounded honour.
On Saturday morning, a 59-year-old man allegedly shot and killed his 55-year-old ex-wife in Witzeeze, Schleswig-Holstein. Now more and more details about the case are coming to light. As the newspaper ‘Bild’ reports, the perpetrator Ali K. ambushed his ex-wife Claudia K., who had been separated for five years, in a wooded area. He intercepted her on her morning walk. He shoots three times. Neighbours hear a loud scream. Claudia K. dies.
According to ‘Bild’, the perpetrator flees – but to the nearest police station. As it is not occupied, he calls the emergency services. He confesses to the murder, is arrested a short time later and is now in custody.
But why did Ali K. murder his ex-wife? According to the Bild newspaper, he couldn’t cope with the divorce and Claudia K.’s new life. The newspaper quotes a friend of the family: ‘As the patriarch Ali considered himself to be, he couldn’t cope with the divorce. Even before that, Ali K., who felt his honour had been wounded, had often turned up at his ex-wife’s house and there had been arguments.
According to the family friend, the 59-year-old ‘couldn’t stand’ the fact that his ex-wife led an independent life. In addition, the businessman was ‘furious’ that he had to make Claudia K. payments during the divorce. He had made a lot of money from property, and now his wife was getting some of it.
