Stuttgart Charges Man With Murder of Care Worker Found in Nurses' Dormitory

Prosecutors say jealousy over a recent separation drove the stateless accused who now faces trial

Overview

  • Stuttgart prosecutors have filed murder charges against a 32-year-old man and say he will face trial for the death of a 31-year-old care worker.
  • Investigators say the woman was killed in her dorm room in late January and her body was discovered days later after her supervisor raised the alarm when she failed to come to work.
  • Authorities report the couple had been married under Islamic law for a few months and allege the suspect acted out of jealousy after the woman separated from him days before the killing.
  • The prosecutor describes the accused as stateless and police earlier noted he has Palestinian roots, and officials have not announced a trial date.
  • The case echoes an August 2023 murder in the same nurses' dormitory that resulted in a 2024 life sentence and has renewed concern about fatal intimate-partner violence at the site.
