Herdecke Mayor Out of Danger as Police Probe Family Motive, Paderborn Stabbing Suspect Detained

Prosecutors cite insufficient grounds for youth custody after recovering two knives at the home.

Overview

  • Iris Stalzer identified her 17-year-old adoptive daughter as the attacker, and investigators say there are no indications of a political motive.
  • Police located the crime scene in the home’s cellar and initially took both adoptive children into custody before declining to seek a youth detention order.
  • A 25-year-old German suspect was arrested near the Padersee after a female student was stabbed in a sports hall at Paderborn’s Westfalenkolleg and left with life-threatening injuries.
  • Munich police arrested a 20-year-old now in pretrial detention on suspicion of arson at CSU headquarters and an AfD office, with a likely left-wing motive under investigation.
  • In Markkleeberg, a 22-year-old was detained after allegedly setting a double garage on fire and fleeing on a kick scooter, causing about €30,000 in damage.
