Germany police searching for stolen bicycle finds dead body
The German police, while searching for a stolen bicycle by chance, discovered the dead body of a 63-year-old woman in a house in the town of Neustrelitz in north-eastern Germany.
According to a statement from police on Thursday, investigators suspected that the woman was killed by an act of violence and had arrested a 37-year-old man on suspicion of manslaughter in her death.
The police said that the man knew the woman, although he was not related to her or a family member, and he was also known to authorities from previous incidents.
The Police officers had actually travelled to the apartment block earlier on Wednesday evening, suspecting the stolen bicycle might be found there, but spotted the lifeless woman through a window, apparently dead for a period of time.
Even before the body was found, police had also been called out to deal with the 37-year-old suspect later arrested in the woman’s death.
He was reportedly heavily intoxicated and behaving aggressively toward pedestrians in the town of Neustrelitz, an officer on his way home from work had observed what was happening, intervened and alerted his colleagues.
