A 44-year-old Ukrainian woman was killed in a refugee camp in Berlin.
Her husband is suspected of murder.
The couple's two children saw the act on Saturday, said Sascha Langenbach, spokesman for the State Office for Refugee Affairs.
The older daughter informed the security services, who immediately tried to save the mother's life.
Dispute escalates
According to the first findings of the police, the couple got into an argument around noon in the accommodation in Alt-Hohenschönhausen.
The 50-year-old man attacked and fatally injured his wife.
Alerted police forces arrested the suspect.
A homicide detective is investigating.
The family from Ukraine was registered in Berlin in June 2022 and has been living in the accommodation ever since, according to Langenbach.
The couple's two children have now been placed in the care of the youth welfare office.
According to the police, the investigation into the course of events and the background to the crime is ongoing.
