Overview
- A judge confirmed an arrest warrant on suspicion of murder and ordered pre‑trial detention after the woman was taken into custody, and she has not given a statement on the allegations.
- About 120 officers searched multiple sites in Reimershagen and nearby Rum Kogel, seizing three vehicles and personal items including shoes for forensic review.
- More than 30 tips followed a broadcast appeal on ZDF’s ‘Aktenzeichen XY,’ which investigators say are being evaluated without a direct link to the arrest and searches.
- Authorities have not confirmed the suspect’s identity or relationship to the victim for tactical and privacy reasons, though media report she is the father’s ex‑partner who reported finding the body; the presumption of innocence applies.
- The defense lawyer says the warrant relies largely on circumstantial evidence and notes it was dated November 5, as youth services took the suspect’s child into care pending family‑court decisions.
