A few days ago, German handyman Hannes F. was mobilizing donations for his mother's funeral. Now, he's behind bars, suspected of her killing. Instead of a gunshot wound, reports suggest she died from brutal assault. In his donation campaign, Hannes wrote, "Mother-murdered-3-sons-bankrupt-funeral-necessary." However, the cops say there's no evidence of gunshots. Police claim she died from forceful blows. Unconfirmed rumors hint at Hannes as the attacker.
Colleagues Mourn Alexandra Froehlich
Alexandra Froehlich, fondly known as "Alex," was a well-respected freelance journalist and editor for prestigious magazines like "Petra" and "Freundin." Coworkers remember Alex as a humor-filled, lively spirit that made work an enjoyable experience. "She was always making jokes, spreading positivity. A joy to work with," reminisces a fellow journalist.
Life wasn't always kind to Alex: Her first husband perished in an accident, leaving her a single mother. Later, she had twins with a Russian theater actor, but the relationship soured, and he passed away from a heart attack. Alex chronicled these experiences in her bestseller "My Russian Mother-in-Law and Other Calamities" (2012), propelling her to fame across Germany. She cherished her actual Russian mother-in-law, "Babushka." Over time, she wrote other successful novels, like "Death is an Option" and "Something Smells Fishy."
Alex was known for her resilience and good humor despite setbacks. Until recently, she lived in Hamburg, aboard a houseboat, where she was discovered dead on April 22nd.
Close acquaintances of the family can't picture Hannes as her murderer. "He has a kind heart," says a chum of the mother, describing the boy. Only €319 was collected for the funeral. The investigation could last several more months. In an interview, Alexandra Froehlich once said, "Darkness lurks everywhere, even in families that seem perfect."
