Suspect remanded after knife attack on wife in Duisburg
A 53-year-old man allegedly followed his 47-year-old estranged wife into a venue on Weseler Straße in Duisburg on the evening of 6 August. Police said he pulled a knife there and tried to use it against the woman. When she resisted, their 19-year-old daughter came to her aid. The man left before police arrived, while both women remained uninjured. He turned himself in at a police station shortly afterwards and was provisionally detained. At the request of prosecutors, a judge ordered pre-trial detention on suspicion of attempted murder. Investigations into the background and the whereabouts of the knife are ongoing.
