82-year-old found dead after stab injuries in Essen
An 82-year-old was found dead in his apartment on Hubertstraße in Essen. The man had multiple stab injuries, and an emergency doctor pronounced him dead. A homicide squad is investigating under the direction of the Essen public prosecutor's office.
The 52-year-old son is alleged to have told police during another operation that he had killed his father several days earlier. During that operation, officers also found his 51-year-old partner in their shared apartment; at that stage of the investigation, she had been held and threatened. The man was holding a large kitchen knife in the hallway but put it aside after police spoke to him. He was provisionally detained, and the investigation into the precise circumstances continues.
