100-year-old German killed and beheaded by her own grandson in argument over money
Police in Hamburg, Germany, have arrested a 37-year-old chemical factory worker for murdering his 100-year-old grandmother and hacking her head off with an axe.
“According to the preliminary autopsy result, it can be assumed that a neck cut caused by a sharp weapon was the cause of death. The suspected means of the crime is an axe found at the crime scene,” senior prosecutor Liddy Oechtering told the German tabloid Bild.Investigators were still determining a motive, but neighbours said Artur often had heated and loud arguments with Ms Amelie, usually over money.
A neighbour said Ms Amelie told her Artur had once broken into her apartment through a balcony and tried to steal her modest savings. A Tunisian migrant was arrested in Augsburg in 2020 after attacking two people, one of whom was a bus driver, with a machete and an axe. He was placed in a psychiatric facility following his arrest.
