Meitingen (dpa / lby) – After the violent death of a 46-year-old in North Swabian Meitingen (Augsburg district), her husband is in custody on suspicion of murder. A judge issued a corresponding order on Monday, police and prosecutors said. An autopsy revealed that the woman died from massive blunt force injuries.

The police arrested the 58-year-old husband on Sunday night after a family member found his wife dead in a two-family house on Friday and called the police. The couple reportedly lived together in an apartment in the house. The investigators have not yet been able to give any further details about the crime because of the ongoing proceedings, the police and public prosecutor said on Tuesday.
