Woman killed in Krailling: husband arrested on suspicion of murder!

A tragic incident occurred in Krailling in the Starnberg district. Last Saturday, a 29-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment there. Her husband, a 36-year-old Yemeni citizen, was arrested near the scene of the crime on strong suspicion. This is reported by the Bavaria Police.

The initial results of the autopsy show that the woman died from multiple stab and cut injuries. A knife found at the crime scene is currently being forensically examined to confirm whether it is actually the murder weapon. The man, who has lived in Germany since October 2022, was brought before a judge on Sunday. He issued an arrest warrant on suspicion of a malicious murder, and the accused is now in a correctional facility.

Domestic violence in focus

In the weeks before the incident, the husband was noticed several times for domestic violence against his wife. On June 6, 2025, a court ban on contact was issued to protect the woman. Unfortunately, this case clearly shows that such measures are often not enough to save lives. As the Federal Ministry of Justice explains, the Violence Protection Act is an important basis in the fight against domestic violence. It allows courts to protect victims from further harm.

Courts can, among other things, take measures that prohibit the perpetrator from approaching the victims or even allow those affected to use the apartment alone. Stalking and other forms of unreasonable harassment are also part of this law, which can also impose fines or even prison sentences for violations.

The children of those killed are in danger

The six children of those killed, aged between 4 and 10, were taken into care by the Starnberg Youth Welfare Office. This raises the urgent question: How can such a fate be prevented in our cities? Secure help and support for those affected is crucial. Those affected can contact the “Violence against Women” helpline around the clock on 08000 – 116 016 and receive immediate support.

The case in Krailling is a painful test of the fact that, despite existing laws such as the Violence Protection Act, much still needs to be done to ensure the safety of women and children in Germany. It remains to be hoped that the investigations will bring wind to the sails of prevention work and protect many lives in the future. Because one thing is clear: there is something to be done when it comes to making our society safer.
