Fatal stabbing at Rosenheim station
Rebecca Bullock, 31, a pub landlady from Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, died after being stabbed at Rosenheim railway station in Germany on Sunday morning, according to multiple reports.
Emergency services were called to the station at around 12.50am on Sunday, with one account placing the attack just before 1am. Ms Bullock, known to friends as Becca, suffered multiple stab wounds and was taken to hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
She was believed to be travelling to Austria to support a friend at a funeral at the time of the attack, as reported by several outlets.
Arrest and investigation
A 27-year-old German man was arrested near the scene, LBC reported. The suspect, described as homeless by some outlets and of no fixed address by others, appeared in court on Monday and was ordered to be detained in a psychiatric hospital as police enquiries continue, according to the Evening Standard and LBC.
One report noted the suspect was from the town of Fürstenfeldbruck, west of Munich. He has been detained on suspicion of murder, LBC reported. German police have appealed for witnesses who may have seen "an argument or physical altercation" at the station to contact the Rosenheim Criminal Police Inspectorate.
Rosenheim mayor Abuzar Erdogan confirmed that the circumstances and "motive behind the crime" were being urgently investigated, the Daily Star reported.
Tributes from the community
Floral tributes were left outside The White Swan pub in Whitchurch, where Ms Bullock worked. The pub posted a statement on Facebook on Monday, which read: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we are having to write this. We are so deeply sorry to say that our beloved Becca passed away over the weekend whilst away on holiday. All our thoughts and condolences are with her family at this time. Becca was much loved by all of the team at the White Swan and our amazing locals."
The statement added that the pub would be closed for the following two days and said: "Our priority at this time whilst we try and comprehend this tragedy is Becca's family and our team."
Richard Shuffill, 82, vice-chairman of the parish council, told The Sun: "Becca had only been here a couple of years but she was like a breath of fresh air and turned The Swan around. It's the only pub in the village but she threw herself into her work to make it the centre of the community. It was impossible not to like her. She was always pleasant and friendly. No one can believe what's happened and she will be terribly missed."
Locals also described her as a "kind" and "positive" person who was "much loved" by regulars. A social media user wrote that she "was an old soul and everyone in our local always felt safe and secure, and she turned the local around to modernise it but also keep it a welcoming safe space for our community."
A life marked by charity and sport
Ms Bullock was credited with running charity events at the pub, including a fundraiser held just over a week before her death that raised £900 for a seriously ill girl in the community. Her social media profiles showed a passion for the outdoors and animals, with reports noting she loved dogs and was "happiest when I'm up a mountain or on a horse."
She was a former pupil of Waddesdon Church of England School and a member of the Thame Runners, and completed the 2022 London Marathon in support of the Spinal Injuries Association, according to Metro and the Evening Standard. Other reports highlighted her fundraising for the Ukrainian refugee appeal and her participation in Ironman events.
The Foreign Office said it was supporting the family of a British woman who died in Germany and was in touch with local authorities, as stated in an official quote carried by multiple outlets.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
