Nortorf (AP) - An arrest warrant has been issued against the 56-year-old partner of the woman, whose body was found on Thursday in the rubble of a row house in Nortorf in Schleswig-Holstein.
He would be accused of manslaughter, causing an explosive explosion and serious arson, said a spokesman for the Kiel public prosecutor on Friday.
The 56-year-old was reportedly taken to the Neumünster correctional facility.
The couple's home was completely destroyed by an explosion and fire on Monday morning.
The search for the woman had turned out to be difficult because the house was in danger of collapsing after the explosion and had to be demolished before investigators with sniffer dogs could enter the ruin.
