A teenager was found dead on the premises of a school center in Lohr am Main in Lower Franconia. A police spokesperson announced this on Friday evening. Currently, investigators suspect a homicide. The victim was 14 years old.
Ein anderer Jugendlicher habe sich am Nachmittag bei einem Polizeirevier gemeldet und berichtet, dass ein Bekannter von ihm eine andere Person getötet habe. Daraufhin seien Polizisten zum Schulzentrum gefahren und hätten dort den Jungen aufgefunden.
Ein Rettungsdienst habe nur noch seinen Tod feststellen können. Ob das Opfer noch gelebt hat, als die Polizei eintraf, war zunächst unklar. Am frühen Abend sei der Tatverdächtige von der Polizei festgenommen worden. Zu seinem Alter machte der Sprecher zunächst keine konkreten Angaben. Er sei im Teenageralter, hieß es. Der Verdächtige solle am Samstag einem Ermittlungsrichter zur Prüfung einer möglichen Untersuchungshaft vorgeführt werden.
Der Todeszeitpunkt soll nun bei einer Obduktion festgestellt werden. Unklar war zunächst auch, wer den Jugendlichen gefunden hat. In Bayern waren an diesem Freitag noch Sommerferien. Lohr am Main liegt zwischen Würzburg und Aschaffenburg und hat etwa 15.000 Einwohner.
Schock in Bayern: Wenn Kinder Kinder töten
On Tuesday, it was revealed that an eleven-year-old boy is believed to be responsible for the violent death of a ten-year-old girl in a children’s home in Wunsiedel, Upper Franconia.
The case shocked far beyond the borders of Bavaria, especially since the investigation results sound almost unbelievable: Before her death at the hands of a roommate of similar age at the children’s home, the ten-year-old girl is said to have been raped by a 25-year-old burglar. However, the man is not responsible for her death. He has since been charged and has largely admitted to the crimes, as announced by the police and prosecutor on Tuesday.
The boy, however, is too young at eleven years old to be punished for the attributed act. According to the findings, he strangled the girl after the two children had argued. The reason for the argument remained initially unknown.
In March, two girls aged 12 and 13 admitted to stabbing 12-year-old Luisa in Freudenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia. Since both are not of legal age, there will be no legal proceedings in this case. In late August, a 15-year-old was sentenced to ten years of juvenile detention for murder. The violent death of the teenager in Wunstorf near Hannover had caused nationwide shock at the end of January. The two 14-year-olds had met to play, but only one of them returned home.
