British Pub Manager Killed in Knife Attack at Rosenheim Station

German authorities have placed a 27-year-old suspect in court-ordered psychiatric detention while investigators renew calls for witnesses.

Overview

  • The victim was Rebecca 'Becca' Bullock, 31, who was stabbed on the Rosenheim station platform and later died in hospital after the attack on 30 August.
  • Police arrested a 27-year-old German at the scene and a judge issued an Unterbringungsbefehl, a court order that has placed him in a psychiatric hospital on suspicion of murder.
  • The public prosecutor says there is no evidence so far that Bullock knew the suspect, suggesting investigators view the attack as not prearranged.
  • Bullock’s local community in Whitchurch has mourned her publicly, the White Swan pub closed temporarily and the British Foreign Office is supporting her family.
  • Rosenheim criminal police are continuing their murder inquiry and have urged anyone who saw a fight or other suspicious activity at the station that night to contact them with information.
