Following the violent death of a 34-year-old woman in Göttingen, an arrest warrant was issued for her husband on Monday. There is an urgent suspicion of manslaughter, said senior public prosecutor Andreas Buick on the decision of the magistrate. The accused remains silent on the charges.
The 39-year-old man is accused by the Göttingen public prosecutor’s office of being responsible for the death of his wife, who was separated from him. The woman was found dead with serious injuries in a flat in a block of flats in the Grone district early on Sunday morning following an emergency call. An emergency doctor was only able to confirm her death. The suspected perpetrator was arrested on the spot without resistance. In addition to another emergency call, he is also said to have called the emergency services himself.
Information about the course of events, a possible motive and the exact cause of death remained unclear on Monday. Information about a possible murder weapon, for example, could not be provided for the time being for tactical investigative reasons, said Chief Public Prosecutor Buick. According to him, the victim and the alleged perpetrator are Syrian nationals.
According to the public prosecutor’s office, the couple have four children together. According to Buick, all four are still minors and were in the flat at the time of the crime. They have been taken into care. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
