Berlin (AFP, July 24, 2016) - A woman was killed and two people injured by a 21-year-old man armed with a machete on Sunday in the southwest German city of Reutlingen, the local police said.
The man, who has been detained, 'had a dispute' with the woman and killed her 'with a machete' before injuring a second woman and a man, according to a police statement that offered no explanation on the cause of the attack.
The man was 'known to police', the statement said.
