Marriage escalated: woman arrested after a knife attack in Cologne!

In the night of June 9, 2025, a shocking incident occurred in Cologne-Dellbrück, which caused the residents into excitement. A 38-year-old man was seriously injured in a dispute with his marital partner. According to Express he was injured in the upper body and had to be taken to the hospital immediately, where he was cared for intensive medicine. According to the police, the danger of life is currently no longer.

The argument took place around 1 a.m. in the couple's apartment on Bergisch-Gladbach-Straße. Neighbors alerted the emergency services after hearing loud shouting and discovering the bleeding man in the hallway of the apartment building. The police assume that it was a turbulent dispute between presumably alcoholized spouses. The suspect wife, 33 years old, was arrested near the apartment.

Enlightenment of the acts

The investigation is already underway: a murder commission has been set up to clarify the motif and the background of the dispute. A knife suspected as a murder weapon was ensured in the apartment. In addition, a blood sample was taken from the wife to demonstrate their possible alcohol consumption. After all, this is not the first incident of this kind in Cologne that attracts media attention. Already on April 27, 2025, a 44-year-old man in Cologne city center was seriously injured in a similar incident when a stranger stabbed him in his neck.

The investigators from the murder commission suspect that disputes in drug and homemade milieu could play a role in both this and in the current case. Eyewitnesses have already been asked to use the perpetrator of the incident in April, while the investigation is progressing on the recent events.
