The body of the 12-year-old victim was found in a wooded area near the town of Freudenberg with “numerous stab wounds”
Germany is shocked, “speechless”, after learning of the crime committed by a teenage couple in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia last weekend. Two girls, aged 12 and 13, also stabbed another to death smaller12, who bled to death as a result of injuries. Luise, the victim, and her alleged killers shared a circle of acquaintances, but little is known about their possible relationship or the trigger for the event, as the case is shrouded in secrecy due to the age of those who ended their lives.
The last thing that is known about Luise is that on Saturday night she planned to walk back from her friend’s house to her house in the city Freudenberg. But I never get there. Her parents informed the police, who declared her missing the same day. However, attempts to find her alive were futile. On Sunday, the girl’s body was found in the woods not far from her house. The state prosecutor in Koblenz, Mario Mannweiler, confirmed after the autopsy at the University Hospital in Mainz that “the girl died as a result of numerous stab wounds and blood loss.”
Contradictions and confession
The investigation of the brutal crime led the agents to take statements from various people, and among them were the culprits. His story didn’t add up. German newspapers Der Spiegel gathers that the explanations of these two girls in the first conversation “contradict those of other witnesses”, which raised suspicion to the point of quoting them again. In the second questioning, on Monday, already in the presence of legal guardians, as well as psychologists, They “confessed” to the murder. The weapons they used are still missing. “After more than 40 years of service, there are still events that leave you speechless,” Koblenz police admitted.
Luise’s confessed killers are criminally incompetent in Germany because he is under 14 years old -now they are in the hands of the social services- so there is almost no information about the crime, except that the three girls knew each other. The Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hendrik Wüst, said that “we shudder at the described details”. “It is unimaginable and intolerable that children are capable of such acts,” he admitted, aware of the increase in criminal acts committed by young people, including minors, in recent years in the country. “Not only do we have to monitor it closely, but we also have to investigate, find the causes and work preventively,” he said after stating that the country is in mourning for what happened.
