After the killing of a 30-year-old woman in a flat in the Johannesviertel district of Darmstadt, the police and the public prosecutor’s office in Darmstadt assume that it was a crime connected to a relationship. The arrested suspect, a 25-year-old Afghan, was to be brought before a magistrate on Friday to be remanded in custody at the request of the public prosecutor’s office, according to senior public prosecutor Robert Hartmann, spokesman for the investigation and prosecution office.
According to the investigations so far, the German woman and the Afghan man had been in a relationship, but it had “apparently ended”. According to Hartmann, the 30-year-old woman had not lived together with the 25-year-old man.
The police investigation team assumes that the 25-year-old stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death. A knife was seized in the flat, which could possibly be the murder weapon, said Hartmann.
