woman from Munich posted

Her
husband

to
go
shopping
with her at noon
.
After that there was no trace of either of them.
A search initially yielded nothing, but
investigations
began early.
On November 18, the apartment was searched again: “
Blood was
found”.

forensics department moved
in.

violence
".
Then the
homicide squad
took over
and an
arrest warrant
for the fugitive husband followed.
