Rebecca Bullock, 31, was attacked at the station in Rosenheim, Bavaria, in the early hours of Sunday before being rushed to hospital where she died from 'severe injuries'
A British pub landlady who was stabbed to death at a railway station in Germany has been remembered as a "breath of fresh air".
Rebecca Bullock was attacked at the station in Rosenheim, Bavaria, just before 1am local time on Sunday, August 30. The 31-year-old was rushed to hospital where she died from "severe injuries," the Bavarian Police said.
Rachel, landlady at the White Swan pub in Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, had been on her way to a funeral in Austria. Officers arrested a 27-year-old German man near the railway station shortly after the attack.
Richard Shuffill, 82, vice-chairman of the parish council in the village, said Ms Bullock had been "like a breath of fresh air" at the pub.
"Becca had only been here a couple of years but she was like a breath of fresh air and turned The Swan around," he said.
"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.
"Her death has come as a real shock and it's a huge loss to our community. I only saw her Saturday lunchtime and then 12 hours later - bless her - she is no longer with us."
Floral tributes were placed outside the pub where Rachel, a keen runner and horsewoman, held charity events - most recently to support a fundraiser for a seriously ill girl in the community.
One described Rachel as "such a caring person that will go out her way for others." Another said: "Heaven has gained the most beautiful angel."
