A woman and a man were found dead in a detached house in Altenrhein SG on Wednesday afternoon. The St. Gallen cantonal police are assuming a violent crime. No further information is available for the time being.
The emergency call center received a report shortly after 12.20 p.m. that two people had been found lifeless in a detached house in Altenrhein.
According to the cantonal police, the emergency services who responded were only able to determine that the two people had died. They were a 48-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman.
Both were registered in the household, explained police spokesman Florian Schneider at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency. Investigations are now underway into both the cause of death and the circumstances that led to the death of the two people.
It will be some time before further information is available, said Schneider. No statements could yet be made about the possible involvement of third parties either. At the moment, however, the police do not believe that there is any danger to the public.
