Discovered women's corpse on Fehmarn: Murder Commission determined!

on Sunday, May 20, 2025, a passerby on the Baltic island of Fehmarn discovered a woman's body in a ditch near the federal road 207. The police immediately informed the police. The Lübeck Commission's Murder Commission has taken over the investigation into this case because the authority assumes that the authority is not natural. Details on the possible crime scene indicate that the deceased, whose identity could not yet be determined without any doubt, was not killed at the finding location, but was brought there.

On Monday, the investigators took a 60-year-old suspect in custody who lives in the personal environment of the 57-year-old dead. It is the husband. According to initial knowledge, the woman probably died between May 16 and 18. The exact circumstances of their death are still unclear and the investigation continues. The police are urgently looking for witnesses who can provide information on the incident. These information can be handed over to the Lübeck criminal police and at any police station.

another violent crime?

This terrifying discovery has again fueled the discussion about violent crime in Germany. According to the Statista , violent crimes are relatively rare overall and make up less than 4% of all police crimes, but they have a strong influence on people's feeling of security. It is worrying that around 217,000 violent crimes were registered in 2024, which is the highest number since 2007.

The increasing number of acts of violence is attributed, among other things, to economic uncertainties and social stress. In 2023, around 2,740 acts of violence against rescue workers were recorded. These findings show that acts of violence increase not only in personal conflicts, but also against public services.

In this context, the case on Fehmarn is a further indication of the ongoing problems with violent crime. Experts emphasize that the clarification of such crimes in which the police were successful in over 75% of cases is crucial to ensure public security.

The focus is on the investigation into the death of women on Fehmarn, and the media will continue to report on progress in this case. Until then, the population remains asked to be vigilant and to provide relevant information from the police.
