After the body of a 19-year-old was discovered in a trunk in Regensburg last weekend, more and more details about the arrested suspect are coming to light: the 55-year-old was not only a colleague of the deceased undertaker, but also her ex-boyfriend .
On Saturday, the body of 19-year-old Marie was found in a car parked in a parking garage. The side window of the vehicle, which was registered to the young woman’s parents, was smashed.
Cell phone records led investigators to suspects
After investigators evaluated Marie’s cell phone records, they tracked down Thomas B. and arrested him as a suspect. “The judge of the Regensburg court finally issued an arrest warrant for the 55-year-old,” Police Chief Matthias Gröger told the “Bild” newspaper. A search was conducted at the suspect’s home.
Like the victim, B. also worked at the cemeteries of the city of Regensburg, the newspaper continued. The suspect and Marie are also said to have had a relationship.
Cause of death still unclear
It is not yet clear how the young woman died. “The case is still at a very early stage,” Zaschka said. An autopsy was performed on the body on Sunday morning, but the results of this examination were not yet available. A specially established investigation group would continue to evaluate traces on the vehicle and in the parking garage, as well as data from the victim’s cell phone and social media activities.
No video surveillance in the parking garage
How long the vehicle has been in the parking garage is also still a mystery. The facility is also open at night, as broadcaster BR reported: there is no video surveillance. The 19-year-old was seen alive on Friday evening, according to ‘Bild’.
