Worms: bed linen convicts burglars
A duvet cover blew up a burglar in Worms. As the police announced early Tuesday morning, the 40-year-old broke into an apartment at night. When the resident noticed this, she called her partner. The latter immediately made his way to the house – but met a man who was transporting several objects in a duvet cover. Because the laundry looked familiar, he spoke to the burglar. This dropped its prey and ran. Together with two other passers-by, the partner managed to hold the burglar until the police arrived.

News from Germany from Monday June 8th:
Bochum: Supermarket customer is attacked with beef steak because he did not keep the distance
At the fresh food counter of a Bochum supermarket, a customer took the distance rules very carefully. Because another customer had come too close to his terms, he turned and threatened: “Get out of here, or I’ll punch you in the face.” The 53-year-old resigned, according to the police, but that was apparently not enough for his car. He slapped the man in the face with a piece of Argentinean beef fillet weighing just under two kilograms, which he had just been given by the supermarket employee.
The victim got to safety and informed the police. The 48-year-old attacker conceded the act, but reacted with incomprehension – after all, he was injured in his “personal sphere”. The police wrote a complaint of assault against the man. The 53-year-old victim sustained minor injuries and later went for medical treatment.

Ingolstadt: Walkers find skeletonized body parts in the forest
A walker has found skeletonized body parts in a forest in Upper Bavaria. According to the forensic medical examination, it is the remains of a couple who has been missing for 18 years, as the police in Ingolstadt announced on Monday. In 2002, a relative filed a missing person report to the police because the couple was unreachable. The cause of death was still unclear.
A week ago, a walker found a skeletonized human skull and other bones in the municipality of Kipfenberg in the Eichstätt district. During subsequent excavations, the police discovered a second skull and more bones. The soil recovered from the forest was crushed and screened in a hall. Teeth and other bone parts were discovered.
Using extensive investigations, forensic doctors secured DNA material from the bones. The trail led to the couple missing since 2002. The Criminal Investigation Department established an investigation team to investigate the exact circumstances of the death.
