Darmstadt (dpa / lhe) – A 30-year-old woman found in an apartment in Darmstadt on Thursday was stabbed to death. When the emergency services arrived, the woman was still alive, but then succumbed to her injuries, said prosecutor spokesman Robert Hartmann on Friday. An autopsy should clarify more.
An arrest warrant had been requested against a 25-year-old arrested shortly after the crime on suspicion of murder, said Hartmann. The investigators are currently assuming a relationship crime as the motive. A knife was found at the scene that may have been used as a murder weapon. The emergency services were alerted by the victim’s brother. At the moment it cannot be assumed that he was an eyewitness to the crime.
