Germany Sees String of Violent Cases as Police Confirm Dismemberment Victim and Make Multiple Arrests

Forensic breakthroughs are driving arrests across separate investigations spanning several German states.

Overview

  • Police in Bonn confirmed via DNA that dismembered remains found in NRW and Rhineland‑Palatinate belong to a 32‑year‑old Eritrean woman who lived in a Bonn shelter, with a homicide unit leading the case and the victim’s partner sought for questioning abroad as the head remains missing.
  • In Burgkirchen an der Alz, a 50‑year‑old died after a neck wound in a public attack; special forces arrested her 47‑year‑old ex‑partner, and prosecutors are investigating a suspected homicide.
  • Investigators in Velbert reported aconitine in a victim’s samples and meal, leading to the arrest of a 59‑year‑old estranged wife on suspicion of attempted murder and a companion on suspicion of aiding the crime; both are in custody.
  • In Waldsassen, a 67‑year‑old went to police and confessed after a 64‑year‑old was fatally shot in his apartment, with a judge to decide on pretrial detention as motive work continues.
  • A 66‑year‑old in a Rosenheim homeless shelter suffered life‑threatening injuries in an attack; a 32‑year‑old suspect was arrested nearby and placed in pretrial detention while the victim remains in critical condition.
