In a significant development in the ongoing investigation, a suspect from Kehl has been arrested in connection with the murder of an 84-year-old woman found dead in her home in Kehl on Sunday.
The woman's death was confirmed by a paramedic at the scene, where the police were called due to signs of violence. Upon arrival, they discovered the woman had severe head injuries from blunt force trauma and had been sexually assaulted before her death.
Witnesses pointed to the suspect, who had not been seen since Saturday evening. The exact cause of the assault and the identity of the suspect are not specified in the article. However, a DNA match with crime scene evidence was found in a police database, linking the suspect to the murder.
The arrest took place during a routine check by federal police at Offenburg train station on Tuesday. The suspect, who currently has no fixed address, was wanted for the murder. No recognizable connections between the suspect and the victim were found, suggesting they did not know each other.
A special task force has been set up for the investigations, and the Prosecutor's Office made the announcement about the suspect's arrest and the findings. The suspect was previously known for property crimes, and a bank card belonging to the deceased senior was found on the suspect.
It's important to note that no publicly available search results provide information specifically about a suspect's prior crimes related to sexual assaults in Kehl, Germany. The search results include information on individuals convicted for multiple serious sexual offenses (mostly outside Germany and unrelated to Kehl) and academic work related to sexual abuse and violence in general but do not specify any criminal history for a suspect in Kehl, Germany.
The investigation into the murder is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available. The suspect is currently in custody.
