Femicide in Zehlendorf: Woman killed by ex-husband at a knife attack
In a shattering incident in Berlin, a 36-year-old woman was brutally killed. On Wednesday evening in Zehlendorf, she suffered serious injuries from a knife attack that was presumably committed by her ex-husband. Despite immediate resuscitation attempts and emergency surgery in the hospital, the woman succumbed to her injuries and died.
The 50-year-old ex-husband of the deceased was arrested by the police a short time later. The authorities examine the effects of female and motivated acts of violence from an injured honor. Previously, the woman was separated from her husband and had taken legal action to protect himself from him.
Domestic violence and legal protective measures
In the joint marriage there have been several violence on the part of the man. In order to protect herself, the woman had not only carried out the separation, but also obtained a violence dispute through the courts. A ban was also imposed. However, this does not prevent all violent partners from not adhering to the guidelines.
Research show that the perpetrator lurked on her on Wednesday at his ex-wife's door and committed the serious attack. The location of the crime was a sidewalk in Hampsteadstrasse, not far from her house. The Murder Commission of the State Criminal Police Office has taken over the investigation and is in the process of clarifying the exact circumstances of the incident.
A representative of the public prosecutor, Sebastian Büchner, commented on the background of the crime and emphasized that the attacker felt violated by the separation of his honor. This ultimately led to the terrifying decision to kill his ex-wife.
growing problem in society
The union of the police (GdP) reacted to this tragic incident and pointed out that killings of women are an increasingly common problem in society. Spokesman Benjamin Jendro said that the existing legal options for ensuring the protection of women are often inadequate. The number of places in women's shelters in particular is too low to meet the increasing number of cases.
The British newspaper "B.Z." also reported that around 50 people gathered in front of the hospital to commemorate the late woman. When asked about possible clascry slopes, Büchner said that there is currently no confirmation.
The investigation continues to be promoted intensively and are the focus of public attention. In particular, the question of how women can be effectively protected against such violent acts is debated again in view of these events.
