New clues Woman found dead outside house - man arrested

At the end of January, a woman was found dead in front of a house. A man close to the Swiss woman has now been arrested.

On Saturday, January 25, a woman was found lifeless in front of a residential building on Weberstrasse in Bern. As the circumstances leading to the fall were initially unclear, the Bern cantonal police launched an extensive investigation.

The investigation into the exact cause of death by the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the University of Bern is ongoing.
