A man is said to have stabbed his mother to death in a hotel in Werne in Münsterland and then seriously injured himself with a knife. This was said by a spokesman for the Dortmund public prosecutor’s office.

The man was found early in the morning near the hotel with cuts and stab wounds. The police later discovered the dead mother in the hotel room.

Man is said to have killed mother – he is in a coma

The seriously injured man may have tipped the officers off about the victim, but there was initially no confirmation of this. The urgent suspect – born in 1978 – is currently in a coma in a hospital, said the spokesman.

Forensics experts worked at the hotel in the morning. The revolving door was blocked off with tape, as can be seen in a picture. A window on the first floor of the hotel was smeared with blood.
