Fatal attack in Rathenow: Suspect arrested!
On Wednesday, June 25th, a brutal incident tragically occurred in Rathenow that left the city on edge. A 43-year-old woman was attacked at the Asian snack bar “Dac Dat” while the restaurant was still closed. According to the information from maz-online.de The attack happened around 10 a.m.
The woman suffered life-threatening injuries as a result of the attack with an “object” and later succumbed to her injuries in hospital. The suspected perpetrator was quickly arrested in Berlin that same evening. He is apparently close to the victim, which raises additional questions about the background to the attack. Further details about the crime have not yet been published for tactical reasons. However, initial information about the use of a knife as a murder weapon has become public, which further complicates the investigation.
Similar incidents cast shadows
The tragic incident in Rathenow is reminiscent of other knife attacks in Germany that have recently caused a stir. So reported br.de from a trial that began at the Würzburg regional court. There, a 22-year-old defendant was charged with manslaughter and two counts of attempted manslaughter after he stabbed a 28-year-old and two other men with a ten-centimeter-long blade during a commotion in a discotheque.
The 28-year-old died in a hospital after the attack while the defendant was under the influence of alcohol and could no longer remember the crucial moments. Such incidents show how threatening an escalating situation can quickly become.
