Homicide at St. John's Church in Nuremberg
In the quiet district of St. Johannis in Nuremberg, a tragic event unfolded on September 4, 2025. A 58-year-old woman was found dead in a multi-family building on Bucher Street.
The Franconia Homicide Squad initiated the initial criminal police measures at the scene, and the investigation has since been taken over by the Nuremberg Homicide Commission, working in coordination with the Nuremberg-Fürth public prosecutor's office.
The Nuremberg-Mitte police station was the location where a 65-year-old German suspect confessed to the murder. The suspect was provisionally arrested and will be presented to the investigating judge for a review of the detention issue, as requested by the Nuremberg-Fürth public prosecutor's office. The identity of the investigating judge has not been disclosed in the available information.
The exact sequence of events and the background to the crime remain the focus of further investigations. The multi-family building on Bucher Street, where the victim's body was found, continues to be a central location in the investigation.
The Nuremberg Homicide Commission is responsible for the criminal police measures in the case, and the Nuremberg-Fürth public prosecutor's office is actively involved in the ongoing investigation. The case is currently under their joint scrutiny.
As the investigation continues, the community in St. Johannis awaits updates and seeks closure in this unfortunate incident.
