An 82-year-old pensioner apparently killed his wife of the same age in Thuringia.
The man from the vicinity of Bad Langensalza called the police himself early Monday morning, according to the Nordhausen state police station.
Officials found the woman lifeless in the house.
Resuscitation attempts by the rescue workers were unsuccessful.
The 82-year-old was arrested without resistance.
The criminal police started the investigation.
According to the information, the background was initially unclear.
The public prosecutor's office did not file an application for detention because, in the opinion of the authorities, there were no reasons for this, such as the risk of fleeing.
