Pub's 'beloved' manager stabbed to death in Germany

Rebecca Bullock, 31, was attacked at Rosenheim station on Sunday.

A British pub is mourning the loss of its "beloved" manager, who was fatally stabbed in Germany.

Rebecca Bullock, 31, was attacked at Rosenheim station on Sunday, just before 1:00 AM local time (00:00 BST). She was transported to a hospital but succumbed to her injuries.

Bavarian Police reported that a 27-year-old German man, who was homeless, was apprehended at the scene. He has since been placed in a psychiatric hospital and is being held on suspicion of murder.

The White Swan pub in Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, issued a statement saying, "We are so deeply sorry to say that our beloved Becca passed away over the weekend whilst away on holiday."

Patrons of The White Swan have placed flowers at the pub in tribute.

"Becca was much-loved by all of the team at the White Swan and our amazing locals," the pub's Facebook post stated.

The pub, which had been closed since Monday following what it described as "a tough few days," announced it would reopen at 3:00 PM.

The landlords commented, "We know this is what Becca would have wanted."

A spokesperson for the Foreign Office informed the BBC, "We are supporting the family of a British woman who died in Germany [and] are in touch with the local authorities."
