From Wikipedia:

On 28th April 1945 Liedtke was killed by Red Army soldiers in his house at Bad Saarow-Pieskow east of Berlin together with his wife Christa Tordy. While attempting to save Tordy from being raped and murdered, he died after either being smashed on the head with a beer bottle, or after being clubbed to death. Prior to their murder, the couple had attempted suicide.

Tordy and Liedtke's bodies were exhumed in October 1948 and they were buried at Waldfriedhof Saarow-Pieskow Cemetery. Upon Liedtke's ex-wife Käthe Dorsch's death in 1957, she was buried alongside the two.
