Woman killed in Cologne apartment
Police arrested an 83-year-old man in Cologne on 21 June on suspicion of killing his 77-year-old wife with multiple knife wounds. Their son alerted police after the man reportedly informed him of the woman's death and admitted the act. Prosecutors sought a detention warrant on urgent suspicion of manslaughter, while a homicide squad opened an investigation. Initial findings suggest marital disputes may have been a background factor.
