Woman dies after knife attack at Stuttgart shopping centre
A 47-year-old woman has died from the severe injuries she sustained in an attack at a Stuttgart shopping centre. Her estranged husband is alleged to have first attacked her with a knife on 23 July and then set her on fire; witnesses extinguished the woman with a fire extinguisher. The 54-year-old suspect was arrested in a wooded area in the Sillenbuch district nearly two hours later. He was placed in a psychiatric facility under a court-ordered placement order. Prosecutors had initially accused him of attempted murder.
