The 75-year-old was discovered dead in her stationery shop in the small town in Lower Saxony near the border with North Rhine-Westphalia at the end of June. The corpse was undressed, the clothes were missing. A magistrate at the Bückeburg district court issued the arrest warrant for murder at the request of the public prosecutor. There is a reason for detention of serious crime.
The 45-year-old was transferred to a correctional facility. If convicted, he faces a life sentence. The traces and the autopsy result point to murder, a multi-headed murder commission was set up.
After another call for witnesses by the police, hints had been received.
