After the violent death of a pregnant woman and her unborn baby in Lüneburg, an arrest warrant has been issued for the 37-year-old partner. The man is suspected of having stabbed his wife to death, as the police reported on Saturday. According to the police, the man from Tunisia had already been arrested on Friday due to evidence at the crime scene and the circumstances of the crime. The suspicion of the crime was then substantiated, so that a judge at the Soltau district court issued an arrest warrant on Saturday at the request of the Lüneburg public prosecutor’s office.
The police did not give any further details about the background of the crime. According to initial information, the investigators assumed that it was a crime of passion. After the crime, investigators secured evidence and questioned people close to the victim.
The pregnant woman had been stabbed to death in an apartment building in Lüneburg on Friday. According to the police, the woman’s partner had said that he himself had discovered the 36-year-old lifeless in the flat on Friday. He then informed the neighbours, who immediately alerted the police. The woman, also from Tunisia, suffered the stab wounds in the morning hours in the flat, where she died. The possible murder weapon, a knife, was seized by the officers in the flat.
