A 19-year-old woman was beaten to death in the Käfertaler Wald near Mannheim in the early hours of 11 March 2026. Her body was found by a walker later that day, and a 17-year-old was arrested the same day and remanded in custody. In August 2026 the Mannheim public prosecutor's office charged him with her murder, alleging that he killed her out of jealousy. According to the charge, the suspect struck the victim in the face and head more than a dozen times with his fist in a wooded area near Mannheim, then struck her at least forty times with tree branches as she lay on the ground. The prosecution says he had come to suspect her of infidelity and considered himself dishonoured by remarks she had made, and that he decided to kill her after she repeatedly told him she wanted to end the relationship.
