A woman gets her neck caught in a used clothing container. Rescue workers confirm her death. The police do not rule out that the woman’s small child could now be in danger.
According to police investigations so far, she climbed through the hatch into the container on Sunday and trapped her neck. Because the initially unknown woman has a relatively new Caesarean section scar, officers suspect that there may be a helpless toddler in the apartment. The police assume it was an accident.
The police launched an appeal for witnesses on Sunday evening. The clothing container, which was located in a supermarket parking lot, was reportedly confiscated. It had been cut open and will be examined further.
