      window

A serious accident occurred in Malans near Wartau on the night of Monday. A 34-year-old woman fell several meters out of a window. She was so badly injured that she later died in hospital. According to the St. Gallen cantonal police, the Portuguese woman’s husband was also at the scene.

“The family just moved here and wanted to renovate the house,” a resident told 20 Minuten. According to neighbors, the couple had three children, but they never heard them arguing. “It’s so tragic for the children,” said the resident.

Another neighbor says: “It’s really a shock for us. Something like this has never happened here before.” The family was not well known in the village: “We met them once while walking, but they have only lived here for about a month. They were always very friendly.”

According to the St. Gallen cantonal police, the neighbor who lives in the same house as the Portuguese woman reported the seriously injured woman on the forecourt of the apartment building.

“I woke up to a woman’s voice, she was crying,” the neighbor told “Blick.” He went outside, saw the two of them and helped to alert the police because the husband did not speak German well.

The public prosecutor’s office of the canton of St. Gallen has begun investigations in cooperation with various specialists from the cantonal police of St. Gallen.

According to the St. Gallen cantonal police, it remains to be determined whether the fall from the window was due to an accident, a violent crime or a suicide. Investigations are being carried out in all directions.
