In the case of the 2013 found dead Maria Baumer from Regensburg, the investigators have arrested again the former partner. His client is in custody under suspicion in custody, said lawyer Michael Haizmann.
The suspect had made no information on the case in surveys in recent days, said prosecutor Thomas Rauscher. In the past, the 35-year-old has always denied the allegations.
Baumer had been missing since May 2012. 16 months later, mushroom pickers found their skeleton in a forest near Regensburg. The cause of death could no longer be determined according to the police of that time after such a long time. Nevertheless, the then 28-year-old fiancee of the victim was arrested a little later. The man was released after attorney Haizmann filed a second complaint.
Searches in several apartments
For years, nothing had changed in the case, said Haizmann. On Monday, the apartments of his client and those of his mother and a brother were searched. Since Wednesday, the man is back in custody. The allegations of the investigators loud murder on the features of treachery and lower motivations.
In 2013, the lawyer based his complaint on two main pillars. "It could not be determined if the woman was killed, and the circumstances surrounding her death are completely unknown," Haizmann said. In addition, the motive was missing: "The two had a harmonious relationship and wanted to marry."
Baumer had started a new job shortly before she disappeared. In addition, she had been elected the country chairman of the Catholic rural youth movement a week earlier. She had lived with her fiancé. The 26-year-old disappeared on the day the wedding invitations were sent. She left her cell phone and engagement ring behind.
The fiancé claimed to have talked to her twice more after the woman disappeared. She is said to have said that she wanted to take a break. The man finally posted a missing person report.
