After two hands of a 32-year-old were found on a highway in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the woman’s partner was arrested abroad. The investigators announced this.
Meanwhile, a female corpse without hands and without a head was discovered in a forest near Koblenz (state of Rhineland-Palatinate). According to their own statements, the police are checking whether the body is that of the 32-year-old.

The severed women’s hands were found two weeks ago on the A45 and were assigned to the woman using fingerprints. Her three-month-old baby was found unharmed in front of a monastery in Waldsolms, Hesse.
Partner is under suspicion
As investigators announced on Monday, it is now known that the woman’s hands were severed after her death. “As part of the extensive investigation by the Hagen police homicide squad, it is being checked whether the Eritrean woman’s partner is connected to the crime,” said the police and public prosecutor’s office. “The 41-year-old is currently outside of Europe. He was able to be questioned with the support of the local police. He is in official custody at the local police’s own request.” (sda/dpa)
