Dortmund: Shock attack! Man stabs ex-girlfriend at gas station!
There was a shocking incident in Dortmund today. A 48-year-old man stabbed his 43-year-old ex-partner at a gas station at 11:20 a.m. How Picture According to reports, the woman was seriously injured in the attack and had to be immediately taken to the hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery. Fortunately, her condition is now stable; she could already be questioned.
The drama began when the ex-boyfriend approached his former partner under some pretext. He asked for jumper cables before attacking them from behind without warning. The woman suffered multiple deep stab wounds to the chest and stomach area. The gas station employee near the crime scene and passers-by immediately alerted the police.
Subject and backgrounds
This incident shines a bright light on the structures of violence against women. Homicide investigators have already expressed suspicion of attempted femicide. This is not surprising, considering the increasing numbers: According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), 155 women in Germany were killed by their (ex-)partner in 2023. The Federal Agency for Civic Education explains that femicide is to be understood as the killing of a woman because of her gender and often takes place in a context of hierarchical gender relations.
The relationship between the man and the woman was marked by bitter disputes, especially after they separated several years ago. The reason for the escalating conflict was, among other things, a dispute about the man's hygiene. Such arguments can lead to a dangerous spiral, as this tragic incident shows.
Legal consequences
The defendant will now be brought before the judge. The legal consequences for him could be harsh. If convicted, he faces a long prison sentence. This case is one of the many that is reigniting the discussion about femicide and violence against women.
The facts are clear: femicide and violence against women are not just tragic individual cases, but rather a problem for society as a whole that must be urgently addressed. Questions about the causes and the possibilities for prevention must be actively discussed in order to help further victims and prevent similar acts in the future.
