Teenage Daughter Allegedly Stabs Mother in Disturbing Incident
The adopted teenage daughter of Germany’s soon-to-be mayor reportedly stabbed her mother 13 times in the basement on Tuesday morning following an attempted arson with deodorant and a lighter.
Iris Starzer, 57, reportedly found her 17-year-old daughter in the sauna area of their home while heading for a shower, as per a security source. A fierce argument ensued. The daughter then allegedly grabbed two knives and inflicted 13 stab wounds to her mother’s upper body, damaging her lung.
After the stabbing, the girl is said to have tried to ignite her mother’s hair using deodorant and a lighter. According to reports, Starzer’s daughter is originally from Mali.
Amid the chaos, the injured politician convinced her daughter to seek help by assuring her she wouldn’t disclose the attacker’s identity. In a state of distress, Starzer managed to pull her daughter upstairs before collapsing into a chair, where she called for emergency assistance. During the call, the teenage girl claimed that men had attacked her mother.
The daughter reportedly concealed a bloody knife and soiled clothes in her 15-year-old brother’s backpack. She even attempted to clean the blood from the floor. It was revealed that Starzer’s son, also adopted, hails from Haiti.
Police grew suspicious of the children after discovering hidden weapons and bloody items. When Stalzer was questioned at the hospital, she initially withheld the name of her attacker. However, after her husband returned from a trip, he convinced her to tell the police the truth that same night.
Reports indicate that the daughter felt overshadowed by her adopted brother, leading to frequent family disputes. Last summer, she had even threatened her mother with a knife, prompting police involvement for domestic violence.
First responders airlifted Stalzer to a nearby hospital, where she remains in intensive care. Authorities took her teenage son from the scene in handcuffs, but it hasn’t been confirmed if he is considered a suspect in this situation.
