A 59-year-old was found unconscious and seriously injured by a knife wound in his workshop in Ruhpolding, Upper Bavaria. A suspected 61-year-old woman was arrested but did not have to be remanded in custody. The investigation is still ongoing, a police spokeswoman said. For tactical reasons, the investigators kept a low profile. The 59-year-old came to a clinic after the attack on December 22 with a wound in his upper body. He underwent emergency surgery there and was then out of danger. The Kripo Traunstein took over the investigation on suspicion of attempted killing. Initial searches using several patrol cars from the region, officers from the Bavarian riot police and a police helicopter were unsuccessful. One day after the crime, the investigators temporarily arrested the 61-year-old from the man’s environment. She was brought before an investigating judge. Since there was no risk of absconding, he decided against the arrest warrant. The woman’s motive was initially unclear.
