Geraberg / Erfurt (dpa / th) - After a failed attempt to kiss, a 58-year-old man is said to have killed an 86-year-old in Geraberg (Ilm district).

When the woman resisted the advances and shouted, the accused is said to have pressed a rag on her nose and mouth until she suffocated, as a public prosecutor's spokesman announced on Wednesday in Erfurt.

The man confessed to the fact from last week.

After he found out that his garden neighbor was dead, he brought the body to a shed and hid it there. In addition, he had taken the purse of the victim from Ilmenau. There is an urgent suspicion of manslaughter and embezzlement against him. His fingerprints and DNA traces were found at the crime scene. When the police collected comparison samples in the vicinity of the crime scene, the man voluntarily submitted a saliva sample.
