Rebecca Bullock, a 31-year-old pub manager from the UK, was stabbed to death at a railway station in Rosenheim, Germany, early on Sunday morning. Bullock, who had just arrived in Germany, was reportedly on her way to Austria to attend a friend's funeral when she was attacked. She suffered multiple stab wounds and later died in the hospital.
Police responded to the incident at approximately 12:50 AM and arrested a 27-year-old German man, who is currently being held in a psychiatric hospital on suspicion of murder.
In Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, floral tributes were placed outside the White Swan pub, where Bullock worked, as the establishment remained closed following the news of her death. Local residents expressed their shock and sadness, recalling their interactions with Bullock just hours before the incident.
The pub's landlords released a statement expressing their condolences and describing Bullock as a beloved member of the community who organized charity events.
Richard Shuffill, vice-chairman of the local parish council, described Bullock as a friendly and pleasant person, noting the impact of her death on the community.
Bullock was known for her love of horses and sports, and she had participated in the 2022 London marathon to support the Spinal Injuries Association.
Authorities are seeking information from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or any altercation at the train station. The UK's Foreign Office confirmed they are in contact with local authorities and supporting Bullock's family during this time.
