The researchers were able to track down the group through these recordings. A passerby discovered the dead man in a meadow in the city on Thursday morning. The identity of the victim has been clarified.
A 14-year-old and two 15-year-olds are being held in a juvenile detention center. a judge ordered this on Friday. According to the Public Prosecution Service, the two older teenagers admitted to violence against the homeless man. According to information from Friday, the Public Prosecution Service assumes that the victim and the perpetrator met by chance.
The Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul (CDU), expressed his dissatisfaction with the case. “What we know so far baffles me. “Three young people are suspected of killing a person,” Reul told dpa on Saturday. The police are doing everything they can to clarify the background. Once again he wondered what drives young people to commit such acts of violence.

The thoughts of our fellow citizens are with the friends and family of the victim,” said city spokesperson Horn-Bad Meinberg. (saw/sda/dpa)
