In January, the body of a 40-year-old woman was found in Frankfurt. The police initially did not make the case public. But now she has a manhunt to announce.
After the discovery of a woman’s body at Frankfurt Ostbahnhof in January, the police arrested a 38-year-old suspect on Friday (February 18, 2022). The man is now in custody, as the investigative authorities announced on Tuesday (February 22, 2022). There is a suspicion of murder. When asked, the Frankfurt officials did not want to give any notes on the allegations against the 38-year-old for “tactical reasons”.
Exactly a month ago, on the morning of January 22, a passer-by on a wasteland near Ostbahnhof Frankfurt* discovered a lifeless body in a trailer. The emergency doctor could only record the death of the woman. The police then conducted extensive investigations at the crime scene for more than 14 hours. The autopsy of the body finally confirmed the assumption that a violent crime had taken place.
Dead found at Frankfurt Ostbahnhof: She was previously considered missing
The victim is a 40-year-old who has been missing since mid-January. The woman had “slipped into homelessness through no fault of her own shortly before due to a mental illness,” the Frankfurt police reported. In the past, she used the empty caravan on the wasteland as a place to sleep. The relationship between the alleged murder victim and the suspect is not known.
A DNA comparison brought the homicide on the trail of the 38-year-old. The suspicion was “confirmed” in the course of the investigation, which was partly carried out covertly, according to the police headquarters. With the help of a special unit, officials finally died the man in an accommodation on Schielestrasse in Frankfurt’s Ostend. A police spokesman initially gave no information on a motive.
A corpse was found at the Frankfurt train station: the case was deliberately not made public
The Frankfurt police deliberately did not make the case of the killed 40-year-old public in January so as not to jeopardize the investigation, the spokesman went on to explain. In other comparable cases, the procedure was different in the past, for example with the “dead person from the Ikea parking lot”. In 2016, a woman was found dead near a Frankfurt furniture market*. Because the police were groping in the dark for a long time, the case made it onto television. The trial of the alleged killers began in 2021. (ag) *fnp.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
