Authorities in Germany are investigating a disturbing case involving the decapitated body of a woman, found in a forested area near Monreal. This discovery follows the abandonment of her newborn baby at a monastery, raising serious concerns about the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death.
On November 18, severed hands, believed to belong to the woman, were found discarded on the A45 highway in North Rhine-Westphalia. The victim, identified as a **32-year-old Eritrean woman**, was confirmed through fingerprints. Her body was located approximately 70 miles away from where the hands were discovered.
Following the discovery of the hands, police launched a search for the woman. They visited a refugee shelter in Bonn, where she was known to reside. Despite their efforts, she had not been reported missing, and investigators found no signs of violence in her living quarters, according to reports by the Mirror.
The situation took a further turn when her three-month-old baby was found unharmed at a monastery in Hesse, about 120 miles from Bonn. The infant was discovered in a stroller, swaddled and tagged with the child’s name and birth date. Identification tags belonging to the deceased woman were found in the stroller, establishing a clear link between the two.
As the investigation unfolds, attention has turned to the woman’s **41-year-old partner**, who has been detained overseas in connection with her death. While German media has reported that he is being treated as a witness rather than a suspect, he voluntarily entered official custody, providing authorities with further information.
The ongoing homicide investigation continues to seek clarity regarding the circumstances of the woman’s death and the implications for her child. Local reports indicate that the police are actively pursuing leads as they attempt to piece together the events leading to this tragic situation.
As authorities work to unravel the details, the community remains shaken by the grim nature of the findings. The case raises broader questions about safety and the support systems available for vulnerable individuals.
