Hildesheim: Husband held in custody following violent death of wife

A 30-year-old man from Hildesheim is in custody following the death of his wife. He is strongly suspected of manslaughter.

The incident occurred last Friday shortly before midnight in a flat in the Neuhof district. At the time, the 26-year-old woman, the suspect and the couple's two children were in the flat. After the man attacked the woman, he left the flat. The mother succumbed to her injuries at the scene.

The children were not physically injured. They are currently being cared for.

A neighbour alerted the police after observing the 30-year-old acting suspiciously in the stairwell around midnight. Officers encountered the man in front of the apartment building. He was "not cooperative" with the officers. When police entered the flat, they found the lifeless woman. A doctor who was called confirmed her death.

During questioning before the examining magistrate, the suspect made no statement regarding the allegations. He was transferred to a correctional facility.
