A Vietnamese woman only identified as 41-year-old The T. under strict privacy laws was found dead on Friday afternoon by a friend in her flat in Dresden, in the Eastern German state of Saxony.
The autopsy revealed that the mother of a 20-year-old son was murdered.
According to local media, the Dresden criminal police strongly suspect her younger boyfriend of having murdered her.

Pakistani national Shahjahan Butt, 29, came to Germany as a refugee in December 2015, and according to the police he is behind the death of The T.
Neighbours of the Vietnamese woman already reported that two weeks before the gruesome discovery of The T.'s body a fight took place between the woman and her Pakistani lover in their flat where they lived together.
According to them such fights occurred frequently and were often about the small restaurant which the two managed together.
A neighbour who lives in the same building said: “One time I heard screams at night. Then came the police, but in which flat that was, I do not know.”

On Saturday evening, the criminal police convinced a local judge to issue in international arrest warrant against Shahjahan Butt, who is currently on the run.
The release of the picture of a suspect - and especially his full name - is very rare in Germany.
Due to strict privacy laws, names are almost always abbreviated and often a picture of a suspect can be pixelated or have a black banner put across their eyes to protect their privacy.
Police spokesman Jana Ulbricht did not want to give any details nor answer questions as to how the Vietnamese woman had been murdered.
She pointed at the early stage of the investigation and the fact that the work of the investigators could be endangered if details of the investigation were made public at this early stage.
