"Prosecutor: Children with youth authorities, no grounds for arrest at present A homicide commission was set up in Hagen on Tuesday to investigate the case. But senior public prosecutor Bernd Haldorn told reporters on Wednesday that according to the prosecution's current information, the case is likely to be treated as the German equivalent of aggravated assault or grievous bodily harm."
Iris Stalzer, the 57-year-old mayor-elect of Herdecke, was airlifted to hospital after being found with multiple stab wounds. She named her adopted 17-year-old daughter as the attacker. Stalzer was discovered seated in a living-room chair after an emergency call; police found signs of a struggle in the cellar, discarded clothing and two knives believed to be the weapons. The daughter and her 15-year-old brother made the emergency call and have been placed with youth authorities. A homicide commission in Hagen opened an investigation. Prosecutors said the case is likely to be treated as aggravated assault or grievous bodily harm and that pretrial detention conditions for the 17-year-old were not met. Motive remains unclear.
