The German diplomat and his Belgian husband have been married for twenty years and live together in a penthouse in Rio de Janeiro, according to the newspaper ‘Globo’. The German called the emergency services around 8 p.m. on Friday evening after his husband suddenly became ill and tripped. He was bleeding from the head. The German diplomat stated that his husband drank a lot and took sleeping pills.

When emergency services arrived, the victim was dead. However, according to the police, there were a number of suspicious cases that indicated a death as a result of violence.

The newspaper ‘Veja’ writes that the secretary had cleaned the apartment of the couple before the arrival of the emergency services. She allegedly stated that she did so because the couple’s dog was licking a pool of blood.

Investigations also revealed that the deceased Walter Biot (53) was injured in the back of his head and neck and had bruises on his face, chest, abdomen, legs and buttocks.

The German diplomat is said to have been taken away by the police. At the police station, Uwe Herbert H. (62) stated that his Belgian husband was sad because the couple would soon be moving to Haiti.

Several Brazilian newspapers write that Uwe Herbert H. (62) has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
