A 32-year-old Bundeswehr soldier is suspected of having killed his ex-girlfriend. Her body was discovered after the suspect backed his car into the guardrail.
A Bundeswehr soldier stationed in Lower Saxony is said to have killed his ex-girlfriend, also a soldier, with a knife. The Koblenz public prosecutor’s office is investigating the suspicion of manslaughter against the 32-year-old, like the senior public prosecutor Harald Kruse announced on Monday. The accused is in custody in Rhineland-Palatinate. The district court of Koblenz issued an arrest warrant because of the risk of absconding.
Woman’s body found in passenger seat
The soldier is said to have killed the 21-year-old last Friday and transported her body in the passenger seat in a car. On the Frankfurt-Cologne (A3) motorway near the Dierdorf junction (Neuwied district), late in the evening he drove his car into a guardrail. The woman’s body was found in the passenger seat. The soldier last worked in Koblenz and is said to have been in a relationship with the alleged perpetrator in the past. Investigators did not give any further details.
