After the shocking massacre in Herten, people are horrified: A Turk is suspected of having killed his own daughters (5 and 8) and their mother (37)!
Previously, an acquaintance (29) of the mother had been worried. The landlord of the flat in which the family lived was informed, went to see what was going on – and, according to the newspaper BILD, was given a hard-boiled excuse by the suspected father at the door! The girls and their mother had presumably already been dead for a long time …
After the autopsies of the victims, further investigations are necessary to clarify the exact causes of death. During his interrogation, the 35-year-old partner and father of the children confessed to having suffocated his wife and daughters. The motive he gave was a previous quarrel between him and the woman. On Thursday, May 18, 23, the 35-year-old was brought before a magistrate at the Recklinghausen district court at the request of the Bochum public prosecutor’s office. An arrest warrant for triple manslaughter was issued against the 35-year-old. No further information can be released at this time, as the exact sequence of events is still the subject of ongoing investigations.
