The man, who has chosen to exercise his right to remain silent, was apprehended just before the TV broadcast of the case on "Aktenzeichen XY ... ungelöst" on ZDF.

The victim, a 40-year-old woman from Stuttgart, was last seen in the city on July 21st of this year. Her body was discovered in a suitcase in Filderstadt near Stuttgart. Investigators believe that the woman has been dead for almost two months, but the exact location of her death remains unknown.

The woman's identity was revealed, but her name has not been disclosed by the authorities. The intensive criminal police investigations of the special commission in this case continue.

In an attempt to gather more clues, investigators distributed flyers in the drug and homeless community in Stuttgart. However, no new significant leads have been reported so far.

Officers also searched the suspect's apartment and arrested him on Thursday. The public prosecutor's office had offered a reward of 1,000 euros for information leading to the clarification of the case.

As the investigation unfolds, the public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The case serves as a grim reminder of the importance of community involvement in solving crimes.

The suspect remains in custody, and further details about the case have not been provided by the authorities at this time. As more information becomes available, updates will be provided.
