Police in Germany have taken a 27‑year‑old man into custody after a fatal stabbing of a 31‑year‑old British woman that occurred early Sunday at Rosenheim’s railway station. According to local authorities, the woman was assaulted at the station, transported to a nearby hospital and later succumbed to her injuries.

Federal officers who responded to the scene apprehended the suspect straight away. Officials say the detainee is a German national from the adjacent district of Fürstenfeldbruck and is scheduled to appear before a magistrate on Sunday.
