Munich: 41-year-old kills wife - motive so far unclear
According to initial findings of the investigators had recently been violent
assault
of 41-year-old on his wife.
The 34-year-old called the police on November 11th that her husband was threatening her.
A short time later she called again and said that she no longer needed any help.
The officers came anyway, but the 34-year-old did not want to
file a
complaint.
The
motive
for the bloody act is so far unclear.
According to
senior public prosecutor Anne Leiding,
there are indications that the suspect has "extreme views" regarding the
male-female role
.

assuming manslaughter
.
Leiding: "It remains to
be seen
whether we can still
find
signs of
murder
