Wuppertal (dpa / lnw) - The police found a seriously injured 80-year-old and his 79-year-old dead wife in an apartment in Wuppertal. Both had stab and cut injuries, as the police said about the operation on Tuesday morning. The man's serious injuries required intensive care treatment.
At the moment, an extended suicide attempt can be assumed, said a spokeswoman for the Wuppertal public prosecutor. According to initial investigations, the 80-year-old could be responsible for both his wife's injuries and himself. The public prosecutor's office and the Wuppertal police are investigating as part of a murder commission to clarify the background to the crime.
