Tragedy in Germany: Man slays woman with a knife in the middle of town

According to Derimabe media reports, the suspect is the victim's husband, who attacked him in the middle of the city, while passersby immediately intervened and held him neutral until the arrival of the police.

The event occurred about 9: 00 a.m. on July 14th in the Frankfurter Straão Street area, near the central square of Kelkhheim. Because it's about an area of shops and locals, many citizens were at the moment of attack at the scene.

Knights intervened to ban author

Eyewitnesses report that some people reacted immediately as soon as they saw the attack, neutralizing the suspect and controlling him until the arrival of police forces.

Police arrested the suspect at the scene. He reportedly suffered minor injuries during the citizens' intervention and received medical assistance. Meanwhile, it was no longer possible for the attacked woman to do anything. She passed away as a result of her severe injuries.

Locked area, intense investigation

After the arrest, police surrounded a broad perimeter around the site, while criminal experts began collecting evidence and questioning witnesses.

Because many saw the event or part of it, there were also teams of psychological support and spiritual counselors to help Witnesses and people affected by trauma.

Authorities said that, following the suspect's arrest, there was no danger for citizens anymore, although the area remained closed for several hours due to investigations.

The Motive Still Unclear

The causes of the attack have not yet been disclosed. Investigators are working to clarify the circumstances of the incident and verify whether there had been conflicts between marriage mates.

Criminal police are analyzing collected evidence, material evidence, as well as the possibility of having images from security cameras in surrounding businesses that can help rebuild the event.

Investigations Continue

Police and prosecutors have launched investigation into murder. Authorities will decide whether the suspect will appear before the tribunal at the request for the detention measure.

According to the principle of presumption of innocence, until a court's firm form ruling, the arrested person is considered only suspected of committing criminal acts.

The event has shocked residents of Kelkheim, a town of about 28,000 people in the Main-Taunus region in northwest Frankfurt, as crime occurred in one of the city's most frequented areas. /Periscopi/
