A family tragedy has occurred in a refugee camp in Berlin: a couple who had come from the Ukraine got into a heated argument, with the 50-year-old man attacking his 44-year-old partner and fatally injuring her. The children have to watch everything.

A 44-year-old Ukrainian woman was killed in a refugee accommodation in Berlin - her husband is suspected of murder. The couple's two children watched the crime, said Sascha Langenbach, spokesman for the State Office for Refugee Affairs.

The older daughter, who was born in 2005, informed the security services, who immediately tried to save the mother's life. According to the first findings of the police, the couple got into an argument around noon in the accommodation in the Berlin district of Alt-Hohenschönhausen. The 50-year-old man attacked and fatally injured his wife. Alerted police forces arrested the suspect. Officials have not released any information about how the woman died. The "Berliner Morgenpost" writes that according to initial information from the scene, she is said to have been stabbed with a knife.

The family from Ukraine was registered in Berlin in June 2022 and has been living in the accommodation ever since, according to Langenbach. A homicide detective is investigating. The couple's two children were placed in the care of the youth welfare office. According to the police, the investigation into the course of events and the background to the crime is ongoing.
