In Berlin, the head of the SPD parliamentary group Matias Mirsch said that “a few minutes ago the recently elected mayor Iris Stalser was chopped in Herdecke.”
“Our thoughts are with her, and we hope that she will survive this terrible crime … We cannot comment on the background at this time, but we are more than deeply saddened.”
The city administration also expressed its “shock and confusion”.
According to Bild Daily, the steelser was found seriously wounded-with knife wounds in the stomach and back, a 15-year-old reception son in her apartment.
The boy told the police that his mother was attacked by several men on the street, Bild said, adding that the police took the teenager for interrogation.
