Overview
- A homicide commission in Bonn took over the case on Wednesday, coordinating the multi-state investigation.
- DNA testing confirmed the separated remains belong to a 32-year-old who had been living in a municipal refugee shelter in Bonn.
- The woman's head has not been recovered, limiting immediate determinations about the cause of death.
- She left her accommodation on November 16; her three-month-old baby was found unharmed that evening in Waldsolms, her hands were discovered overnight at the A45 near Olpe, and a headless torso was located late November near Monreal.
- Investigators are examining whether her life partner, who is reported to be in a country outside Europe, is connected to the crime.
