Investigators suspect that the 55-year-old may have killed the young woman. The body of a 19-year-old man was found in a car in an underground car park in Regensburg.
German police have arrested a man after a woman’s body was found in the trunk of a car parked in an underground car park in Regensburg, Bavaria. Investigators suspect that the 55-year-old may have killed the young woman. The state attorney’s office must now decide whether he will be brought before an investigating judge, police spokesman Michael Jaschka said Sunday. He did not say what the suspect was related to the victim.
According to an investigation by the Bavarian media group, the person arrested is said to be from the 19-year-old’s personal environment, but not his family. “The case is still at an early stage,” Zashka explained. That is why he could not provide any information on how the young woman from Sam Mel Paladinate died. Forensic experts were expected to examine the body on Sunday.
Passers-by noticed the car with its windshield broken
According to police, passers-by reported a car with a broken side window in the underground parking lot of a Regensburg hardware store Saturday morning. Patrolmen searched the car and found a dead woman in the trunk. Police cordoned off the area.
Forensic experts scoured the garage for clues. A worker later picked up the 19-year-old’s body. Investigators interviewed the young woman’s parents and witnesses. In the evening they arrested the 55-year-old suspect.
According to police, the car was registered to the 19-year-old’s parents. It was not initially known how long it had been in the underground car park. However, the young woman was not reported missing. According to information from “Bild” newspaper, he was allegedly seen on Friday. (APA/dpa)
