In the case of a 39-year-old killed with an ax in Kalletal in the Lippe district, the suspect is said to have raped his ex-girlfriend immediately after the bloody act.
As senior public prosecutor Christopher Imig confirmed to the German Press Agency, the 24-year-old made a statement to the investigators.
There is initially no reason to doubt the information provided by the woman, says Imig.
Bielefeld - The results of further investigations are still pending.
Several media had previously reported.
The suspect (36) had killed the victim with an ax out of jealousy last Saturday night.
The perpetrator's ex-girlfriend was also in the apartment.
After the deadly ax blows, the 36-year-old is said to have dragged her into the bathroom and raped her there.
He then forced her and her two young children into a car and sped away, according to investigators.
On the way he was stopped by the police and fled.
The police are still looking for the man from Azerbaijan.
There is now an international arrest warrant.
