Drama in Herleshausen: Man kills wife and takes his own life!
In a shocking incident in Herleshausen in the Werra-Meißner district, two bodies were discovered in a single-family home on Monday. According to faz.net, it is a married couple: the 66-year-old man and his 59-year-old wife. It is believed that the man killed his wife and then took his own life. The police were contacted by concerned neighbors who had not seen the two since the end of the previous week, even though their vehicles were parked in front of the house.
The emergency services who arrived on Monday afternoon found the couple's lifeless bodies in the house. Initial investigations by the local criminal police and the crime scene group of the North Hesse Police Headquarters revealed no evidence of foul play in the man's death. The Kassel public prosecutor's office ordered an autopsy of the 59-year-old woman, which was carried out on Wednesday, and the result confirmed an unnatural death. The 66-year-old is therefore suspected of being responsible for the death of his wife. Further details about the crime are not yet known.
Eerie silence
The police investigation was launched after witnesses noticed the couple's absence. “There's something going on,” said the neighbors when they saw no signs of life from the two of them, and finally informed the police. This shocking event has left the community in turmoil, as such a killing in quiet neighborhoods does not go unnoticed.
This is not the first time that the region has been affected by tragic incidents. This also raises the question of how such a desperate act can suddenly happen in a community that appears to be so peaceful. Experts have already been consulted to shed light on the background to this tragedy, and the police investigation team is working hard to understand possible motivations.
The community of Herleshausen, which has a reputation as a welcoming and peaceful area, is shaken. Neighbors and friends of the family are perplexed and are concerned about the events that took place behind the closed doors of the family home. It remains to be hoped that the exact circumstances can be clarified soon.
