Rodgau / Offenbach (dpa / lhe) - After a woman's corpse was found in a pond in Rodgau (Offenbach district), the victim's husband is under urgent suspicion.

Police and prosecutors reported on Wednesday that the 34-year-old was being investigated for manslaughter.

He was arrested and placed in pre-trial detention by order of the judge.

The investigators did not share any further details.

They assume a violent crime because the body of the 28-year-old has "significant head injuries".

How the dead woman got into the pond and what exactly happened in the act was initially unclear.

Passers-by discovered the body late Tuesday morning.
