After the discovery of a dead 15-year-old in Salzgitter, two young people are considered urgent suspects. The public prosecutor’s office in Braunschweig announced on Wednesday that it was a 13-year-old and a 14-year-old. The reasons for the act should be in the “personal area”.
After the discovery of a dead 15-year-old in Salzgitter in Lower Saxony, the investigators are assuming a crime among young people. A 13-year-old and a 14-year-old are considered urgent suspects, as the public prosecutor’s office in Salzgitter announced on Wednesday. Based on the overall circumstances, a homicide can be assumed. An arrest warrant for murder had been requested against the 14-year-old.
According to the authorities, the 13-year-old, who has not yet reached the age of criminal responsibility, cannot be imprisoned, so the youth welfare office was involved in his case. The motive for the act has not yet been finally clarified, but is “in the personal sphere”. The public prosecutor’s office initially did not provide any further information on the case.
The 15-year-old was reported missing on Sunday. On Tuesday, emergency services discovered a body in a tree-lined green area near residential buildings while looking for the student. It was initially unclear whether the dead person was the person being sought, and the cause of death was also not certain.
