Woman found dead in Müllheim – suspect arrested!
In the quiet southern town of Müllheim, which belongs to the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district, a tragic incident shocked the community on Sunday. At around 8:40 a.m., police were called to a scene regarding a reported domestic incident. On site, emergency services found a 43-year-old woman who was found with no signs of life. A 46-year-old man is suspected of being responsible for the woman's death and was arrested at the scene by special forces from the Freiburg police headquarters Tixio reported.
The investigators assume a violent crime, and the Freiburg criminal police have already started investigations into suspected homicide. However, no further details are available on the current status of the investigation, which was emphasized by the police given the sensitivity of the case. The news agency News.de added that it was an incident that could worry the population.
Violent crime on the rise?
In Germany, violent crimes only make up less than 4% of all recorded crimes, but they still have an enormous impact on people's sense of security. The latest statistics show that around 217,000 violent crimes were recorded in 2024 - the highest number since 2007. Since 2021, the number of violent crimes has risen rapidly and is now almost a third above the 2021 level, according to Statista.
The reasons for this increase could be diverse: economic uncertainty, social stress and the ongoing psychological stress caused by the corona pandemic play a role. The police are also recording an increase in annual victims of violence, which are now around 260,000. The number of unreported cases is probably even higher.
What happened in Müllheim shows once again how quickly a violent incident can turn everyday life upside down. The investigation is just beginning, and the entire community is eager for answers. For many, the feeling of security in their hometown has been significantly weakened as a result. The police are calling on the public to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity immediately.
