Mülheim an der Ruhr (dpa / lnw) - After an attack by her husband, a woman in Mülheim an der Ruhr died from her serious injuries. This was announced by the police and the public prosecutor on Tuesday. The 56-year-old was arrested last Wednesday. He had locked himself in with his 50-year-old wife, and "bang-like" noises came from the apartment, according to the authorities. Police officers kicked in the door and found the suspect and his wife. The critically injured woman was taken to a hospital by rescue helicopter.
At the crime scene, the criminal police secured a striking tool - presumably the murder weapon. The investigators did not initially say what it was exactly. As a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office reported, a homicide commission is investigating suspected manslaughter against the German suspect. The man is in custody. The authorities did not provide any information on the alleged motive for the crime.
