Woman killed in Hamburg-Poppenbüttel – 22-year-old remanded in custody
A 60-year-old woman died after suffering stab wounds to her neck and abdomen in a green space by the Alsterwanderweg in Hamburg-Poppenbüttel. According to the public prosecutor's office, she was killed on the evening of 20 August and died from severe blood loss; a passer-by found her body around a day and a half later. A 22-year-old woman was arrested in Hamburg-Alsterdorf on the evening the body was found and has been remanded in custody on urgent suspicion of murder. Prosecutors are examining whether the killing was carried out treacherously and have ordered a psychiatric assessment of the suspect; investigators currently believe the two women did not know each other.
