Arrest of the son of late star author Alexandra Fröhlich following her homicide
In a chilling twist, authorities have taken a 22-year-old individual into custody, suspected of the horrific act that left celebrated author, Alexandra Fröhlich, lifeless on a houseboat in Hamburg two weeks ago.
Investigators believe the involvement of the 22-year-old, who shares a familial bond with the victim, could potentially lead to the resolution of the case. This arrest came to fruition on Tuesday, as confirmed by the police. Preliminary autopsy results suggested that Fröhlich, aged 58, perished due to severe blunt force trauma. [Source: ntv.de, gut/AFP]
Initially, the nature of Fröhlich's demise remained a mystery. However, expectant family members discovered her lifeless on the houseboat moored in the Hamburg district of Moorfleet on April 22. Unfortunately, rescue services could only confirm her tragic fate. One of her sons then contacted the authorities.
Interestingly, reports from the "Bild" newspaper suggest that the now-arrested suspect is indeed Fröhlich's son. The trio of brothers shares the houseboat with their mother. The police are, however, maintaining a tight lid on the suspect's identity, keeping the investigation's candor intact 13.
Alexandra Fröhlich, Hamburg’s acclaimed wordsmith, gained widespread recognition for her novels "My Russian Mother-in-Law and Other Catastrophes" from 2012 and "Traveling with Russians" from 2014. The books not only charmed their way onto the Spiegel bestseller list but also showcased her autobiographical anecdotes about her tumultuous marriages with Russians. [Source: ntv.de, gut/AFP]
Additionally, her novels "Always Dying" from 2016 and "Something Fishy" from 2019 followed suit, maintaining her literary prowess 13. Before embarking on her literary journey, Fröhlich worked as a freelance editor for various women's magazines, a tidbit that can be found on her publisher Droemer Knauer's website. Her entrepreneurial spirit even led her to develop a new women's magazine in Kiev.
In this uncertain and grim investigation, police continue to appeal to the public for any potential eyewitnesses, especially those who may have seen anything suspicious near the houseboat between midnight and 5:30 am on the day of the incident. They eagerly follow up on speculations about possible suspects, aiming to shed light on this grim case. 13
