A 32-year-old man suffered fatal stab wounds in a dispute among friends early Monday morning in an apartment in Neuperlach. His 21-year-old partner, who lived with the victim in another neighborhood, and the 31-year-old homeowner, both of whom were arrested, were also in the apartment when the police arrived.
Stephan Beer, head of the Munich homicide squad, said on Tuesday afternoon who stabbed the two and why the deadly argument came about. Both are currently being questioned. When the rescue workers alerted by the apartment owner and more than 20 patrols arrived, the victim was still conscious in the living room. The injured man was taken to a hospital by the emergency doctor under ongoing resuscitation, where, according to the police, he died two and a half hours later from bleeding.
At the scene of the crime, the officers were able to secure a possible crime knife, which probably belonged to the inventory of the apartment. Residents of the apartment building and the neighborhood were questioned in the early hours of the morning. On Tuesday, officers continued to investigate the crime scene and also searched the home of the dead man and the suspects.
