After the death of a young woman who was found in a car trunk in Regensburg on Saturday, a 55-year-old suspect was arrested on Saturday evening, according to information from the Bayern media group. The Regensburg public prosecutor’s office is currently examining his presentation.
According to the police, passers-by reported in the morning that a car with a smashed side window was parked in the underground car park of a hardware store. A patrol then discovered the dead 19-year-old from the Cham district in the trunk. The Regensburg criminal police had already taken over the investigation on Saturday morning. “The forensics in the underground car park of the hardware store have now been completed,” the police said on Sunday morning. However, the situation where they were found points to a violent crime, but suicide is more likely to be ruled out. According to the current status of the investigation, a homicide is being investigated,” the police continued.
The car was registered to the 19-year-old’s parents. It is unclear how long it had been in the underground car park. The young woman was not reported missing. Criminal experts searched the garage for clues until the evening. An undertaker later picked up the 19-year-old’s body. The investigators interviewed the young woman’s parents and witnesses.
