BERLIN (AFP) – A Berlin man was detained Monday on suspicion of
killing his wife and cutting her body to pieces after a row in an
apartment where police later found six children, authorities said.
“Upon entering the apartment, officers discovered the partly
dismembered body of the 30-year-old tenant and detained the 32-year-old
husband after he attempted to resist them,” police said in a statement.
Neighbours alerted the authorities after hearing loud noises from the apartment in the early morning hours.
The six children, who were apparently unscathed, were handed over to
social services, police said. They were not able to confirm that all six
belonged to the couple.
According to Vanguard, a witness told local public radio station RBB that the man, who she
said was Turkish, had climbed onto the roof of the five-storey apartment
building and held up the decapitated head of the woman in one hand and a
knife in the other.
She said she had earlier seen the man strike and kick his wife.
