Germany: Inmate suspected of killing wife during visit DW 04/04/2025
Briefly

The tragic death of a 35-year-old woman following an unsupervised visit with her 37-year-old husband at Burg Prison has prompted police and prosecutors in Saxony-Anhalt to investigate. Officials suspect the husband may have been responsible for her death, leading to charges of manslaughter. The incident highlights concerns regarding the unsupervised nature of long-term visitor spaces designed for family privacy. An autopsy is underway to determine the precise cause of death, with results anticipated soon. Burg Prison is noted for its modern security features and aims.
Public prosecutors in the city of Stendal have filed charges of suspicion of manslaughter against the man, following the death of his wife during an unsupervised visit.
