Life-threatening attack: man sets his partner on fire in Weißenfels!
A terrible incident happened last Saturday evening in Weißenfels, Saxony-Anhalt. A 47-year-old woman suffered life-threatening injuries in an attempted murder. The suspect in this unfortunate case is her 44-year-old partner, who allegedly poured flammable liquid on the woman and set her clothes on fire. The police have launched an investigation and secured extensive evidence at the crime scene. The focus is on an apartment building where the crime took place. On Sunday, after an intensive search, the man was arrested. An arrest warrant was issued against him on Monday and the injured woman is in a special clinic for medical care. While the investigation into the exact cause of the crime continues, the first witnesses have already been interviewed. Both the man and the woman are Polish citizens, which may further complicate the investigation, as backgrounds from the country of origin could also play a role.
The tragic discovery of a newborn
But what happened in Weißenfels is not the only shocking incident that has affected the region in recent weeks. Nine weeks ago, a dead baby was found while doing garden work on Zeitzer Strasse. The criminal police have formed a six-member investigative team to investigate this case. Ten to twenty colleagues initially worked on solving the case. Investigative group leader Chief Detective Heiko Mosebach said that the investigations had so far been without any concrete leads. More than 600 interviews in the area surrounding the site have so far yielded no results, but investigators believe that the baby's mother lives in the area.
The police investigation results indicate that the woman being sought could be a maximum of 23 years old and is either in training or studying. The circumstances of the discovery and the fact that foreign DNA from the mother was found on the baby's body raise questions. Investigators suspect the baby was thrown over a fence during the day and believe the mother may have been alone during Easter vacation and provided false information about the child's abandonment.
