Newly elected mayor of Germany stabbed 13 times

A newly elected mayor was found injured in western Germany with multiple stab wounds and her life is in danger, a security source told Reuters on Tuesday.

Bild newspaper reported that Iris Stalzer, a Social Democrat who is expected to take office in November after being elected mayor of Herdecke in the Ruhr region a week ago, had been found by her son.

The 57-year-old mother of two teenagers, Stalzer is a labor law lawyer who has worked for many years in local politics in Herdecke, an ancient town of about 20,000 inhabitants.

"We have received news of a terrible act in Herdecke. It must be investigated quickly. We fear for her life and hope for her full recovery," conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz wrote on social media.
