After the liberation of three women from a house in northern Baden-Württemberg, the police and public prosecutor’s investigations continue. According to the information, no other possible victims had reported by Saturday afternoon.
The Mosbach public prosecutor suspects a 37-year-old of having held and raped a woman for several days. The 26-year-old finally called an acquaintance who alerted the police. When police officers searched the house in Walldürn on October 19, they reportedly found two other women. It was initially unclear how long they had been there.
The investigators accuse the 37-year-old German of taking hostages in combination with particularly serious rape and dangerous bodily harm. He went to a psychiatric hospital. His 23-year-old brother is considered a helper and is in custody.
