Grandson urgently suspect: 80-year-old killed in Delmenhorst

According to the police, a woman in Delmenhorst was "obviously subjected to violence". She is found lifeless in front of a house. Inside is a grandson who is considered an urgent suspect. He is now before the magistrate.

An 80-year-old was killed in Delmenhorst, Lower Saxony - presumably by her grandson. Police found the woman dead in front of her home on Sunday evening. For the 80-year-old, any help came too late, the emergency doctor could only determine death, the police said. The woman was "obviously violent," it said. Her grandson was arrested as an urgent suspect.

At the request of the Oldenburg public prosecutor, the 22-year-old is to be brought before a magistrate this Monday. The young man, who lived in his grandmother's family home, called relatives in Rhineland-Palatinate and told them that he had killed her, it was said. The family members then called 911.

The grandson was found slightly injured in the grandmother's family home in the Deichhorst district, first taken to the hospital and then to a police cell. According to his own statements, the grandson suffered a bleeding wound on his head during an argument with his grandmother, as a police spokesman said. The suspect did not initially comment on what triggered the dispute and the deadly escalation. "The motive is still completely unclear," said the police spokesman.
