North Rhine-Westphalia: woman injured in addiction facility: residents suspicious

Mülheim (dpa / lnw) - A 43-year-old resident of a facility for addiction and the mentally ill in Mülheim/Ruhr was found with life-threatening injuries in the stairwell. According to witnesses, a 35-year-old roommate was suspected and arrested after the crime early Wednesday morning, police and prosecutors said. The man will be heard. He will continue to be determined whether there is an attempted homicide.

In the residential facility in a forest between Mülheim and Duisburg, people with mental illness and at the same time pronounced addiction problems and conspicuous behavior are housed. The aim of the care is to reduce the consumption of addictive substances if possible. In contrast to other facilities of this type, however, abstinence is not a requirement in the house.
