In the chilling haze of two weeks, the lifeless body of renowned author Alexandra Froehlich was unearthed on a houseboat in Hamburg. Suspicions of a heinous crime have surfaced, and investigators have now clamped the handcuffs on a 22-year-old accused of the horrid act.
Hamburg's police department arrested the alleged perpetrator on Tuesday, according to official reports. An autopsy confirmed that the 58-year-old victim succumbed to injuries from blunt force trauma. The media, including Bild newspaper, speculate that the victim is none other than the bestselling author Alexandra Froehlich hailing from Hamburg.
The relentless pursuit of justice led investigators to scrutinize several individuals, and the suspect, linked to the victim, emerged as a person of interest. Authorities apprehended the man in the Rothenburgsort district and currently hold him in custody. The bereaved relatives had stumbled upon Froehlich's lifeless body on the houseboat in the Hamburg district of Moorfleet on April 22. Emergency services verified the 58-year-old's untimely demise.
Among the author's three sons, it is alleged that the 22-year-old is now standing trial for this premeditated act. Prior to her untimely demise, they resided together on the houseboat. The cause of death remained mysterious at the time. A homicide investigation is currently underway, with the police seeking potential witnesses who may have witnessed any suspicious activities.
Alexandra Froehlich rose to fame for her novels "My Russian Mother-in-Law and Other Catastrophes" in 2012 and "Traveling with Russians" in 2014, which offered an autobiographical account of her tumultuous marriages with Russians. Both books graced the Spiegel bestseller list for months.
Her literary contributions didn't end there. Froehlich penned "Gestorben wird immer" in 2016 and "Dreck am Stecken" in 2019. Before embarking on her writing journey, she worked as a freelance chief editor for multiple women's magazines, as stated on Droemer Knauer's publisher website. In Kyiv, she fostered the birth of a new women's magazine[3].
