Elderly female suffered an alleged sexual assault leading up to her demise
In the Baden-Württemberg town of Kehl, an 84-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment on Sunday. The crime occurred in her bedroom, and the overall circumstances pointed to a violent crime.
The autopsy, conducted to determine the cause of death, revealed that the woman suffered severe injuries from blunt force trauma. Rape is being considered as an additional suspicion in the case.
Investigators are currently assuming a male perpetrator who gained access to the elderly woman's house over the weekend. However, the method of the suspected perpetrator gaining access to the house remains unclear.
A special commission has been set up to investigate on suspicion of murder. Neighbor interviews have already yielded various leads in the investigation, but the search results did not provide any information about the suspect.
The acquaintance who found her alerted an emergency doctor. The investigation is ongoing, and the police and the public prosecutor's office in Offenburg have announced that a sexual offense is also being considered.
Neighbor interviews and ongoing investigations may lead to the identification of the perpetrator. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The case is a grim reminder of the need for increased safety and security for the elderly, particularly women, in our communities.
