Daughter suspected in attack on German mayor, police say

Iris Stalzer, stabbed 13 times in her home, identified her 17-year-old adopted daughter as the suspect in a family-related attack with no political motive, officials said.

  • German Mayor Iris Stalzer, 57, was stabbed 13 times in her home, and her adoptive daughter, 17, is the prime suspect, according to prosecutors.
  • Prosecutors stated that Stalzer's statements to police have "incriminated" her daughter, leading to her being taken into custody.
  • Stalzer's daughter initially misled police, claiming a robbery occurred, but investigators revealed significant evidence linking her to the attack.
  • German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed shock at the attack, calling it a "terrible deed" and emphasized the need for a swift investigation.
