On Saturday, a man stabbed his wife, son, and daughter inside a multi‑family building in Witten, a town in the Ennepe‑Ruhr district of North Rhine‑Westphalia. The 12‑year‑old son later died from his injuries, police confirmed to the portal Der Westen. The attack began in the home before moving onto the street. The suspect, the father, has been arrested and is now in police custody. At first the motives were unclear, so a murder investigation commission was convened to advance the inquiry.
