Robber 'murdered' brother, 77, and sister, 74
A brother and sister were murdered in their home in western Germany on Christmas Day, believed to be victims of a robbery.
The bodies of the 74-year-old retired doctor and her 77-year-old brother, a former university lecturer, were found by the sister’s daughter at the large family home in Gütersloh, North Rhine-Westphalia on December 25th.
Investigators said the house looked like it had been searched.
Police said that both of the victims died from multiple stab wounds and an investigation is now underway.
