A couple was killed in the Swabian market town of Altenstadt (district of Neu-Ulm). The bodies of the 55-year-old woman and the 70-year-old man were discovered by relatives in their family home on Saturday, police said on Sunday. Police believe the two were killed by one or more people.
The investigators did not want to comment on the cause of death, the precise circumstances and a possible motive on Sunday evening. It was initially unclear how the perpetrator or perpetrators got into the house. A police spokesman said there were no obvious signs of a break-in until Sunday. But the forensic investigation is still ongoing. “We are currently investigating in all directions.” The police hope to have more clarity by Monday.
