October 11, 2025
Germany is in shock after a brutal attack by a 17-year-old adopted daughter on her mother, Mayor Iris Stalcher. The teenager is reported to have tortured her for hours before setting her on fire and stabbing her, despite the mayor's warning to the police about feeling threatened. The motive appears to be revenge stemming from feelings of neglect. Despite the severity of the attack, authorities are treating it as grievous bodily harm rather than attempted murder. The case has sparked outrage and discussions about the failures of law enforcement.
