A 14-year-old youth is suspected of killing a 13-year-old in Sinsheim. According to research by our newspaper, he already stabbed last November - and should actually be in a closed facility.
Sinsheim - The 14-year-old suspect, who allegedly stabbed a 13-year-old in Sinsheim (Rhein-Neckar district) on Wednesday, has already attracted attention with a similar crime and should therefore actually be housed in a closed youth facility. Investigators confirmed this to our newspaper. Accordingly, it is the teenager who had stabbed several times on the upper body of a fellow student last November at a secondary school in Östringen (Karlsruhe district). At that time, according to police, a month-long dispute between the two then 13-year-olds had escalated. A teacher had finally managed to lure the perpetrator into a classroom and lock him up there. The teenager was not yet of legal age at the time. The victim survived the attack.
After the crime, a psychiatric expert had urgently recommended that the boy be placed in a closed youth facility. According to information from investigators, the police had recommended several times to the Youth Welfare Office of the Rhine-Neckar district to monitor the youth closely until he was placed and to push for placement in a closed institution. Nevertheless, he is now suspected of having committed another knife attack.
Criticism from the police
Criticism has therefore come from the German Police Union: "Unfortunately, authorities far too often ignore police tips and investigation results, so that such acts occur. This may be due to the overload of youth welfare offices in particular. But that does not change the sometimes terrible consequences as in this case," said state chairman Ralf Kusterer to our newspaper.
Officially police and public prosecutor's office do not express themselves so far yet to the further Tathintergründen. They refer to a press conference in the afternoon. Also of the district administration office of the Rhine Neckar circle gives it on inquiry of our editorship still no reaction. The authorities confirm, however, that the suspect is known to the police, among other things because of a "serious act of violence".
The dead 13-year-old had been found on Wednesday afternoon in a field area near the Sinsheim district of Eschelbach. The suspect had been arrested in the immediate vicinity of where the body was found. According to police sources, the victim and the alleged perpetrator knew each other. The motive is to be found in the quarrel about a girl.
