A woman was killed in Hanover County. On Wednesday night, a man called police and said he had attacked the woman, a police spokesman said. Therefore, it can be assumed that the caller also killed the woman.
The exact cause of death or the relationship between the victim and the alleged perpetrator was initially unclear until the morning. It is possible that the two knew each other. Investigations are underway, among others, in this direction.
Emergency services found a woman dead in an apartment
When emergency services entered the apartment, they found the woman dead, with her body reportedly suffering from stab and slash wounds. The suspect was also in the apartment at the time, but could not be immediately arrested because he had repeatedly threatened suicide.
Special forces called in made the arrest moments later. The man suffered minor injuries, a police spokesman said. Police initially did not provide further information about the circumstances of the incident or who was involved.
