A chicken was killed and other animals were tortured in an animal enclosure in the Marxloh district of Duisburg. Children are responsible for the attack.
Horrifying scenes took place in an animal enclosure in the Marxloh district of Duisburg. A chicken was brutally murdered there and goats were tortured. The perpetrators: children. This is reported by the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.
According to the article, three boys (9 and 10 years old) broke into the animal enclosure at Petershof. This is a social-pastoral center that, according to its own information, offers, among other things, free lunch and homework help.
The perpetrators threw paving stones at a chicken until it died. They also attacked two billy goats. The animals are said to have been hunted with spades, stones and sticks, writes the WAZ. It goes on to say that the buck named Anton was beaten and injured on his left foreleg and suffered a laceration under his eye. He is said to be still shaking days after the attack, which took place on May 12.
The incident lasted three quarters of an hour and was also recorded on video. The police were able to catch the perpetrators in the animal enclosure. A girl is said to have been waiting in front of St. Peter’s Court. However, it is not known whether she didn’t dare go in or was supposed to stand guard.
According to the WAZ, the Petershof says that the camera recordings are “hard stuff,” a “real excess of violence,” it is also said. According to a police spokeswoman, the children are already on file, but are said to be “not intensive offenders”. However, one of the boys is said to have gotten into the enclosure the day before the crime and threw two chickens over the fence.
Now the children are being heard about their crime, writes WAZ. The parents were also summoned and the city’s youth welfare office was called in. Because of their age, the perpetrators are incompetent. The Criminal Code states: “Anyone who is not yet fourteen years old when the crime is committed is not guilty.”
A similar crime happened in London. There, two boys (11 and 12 years old) broke into an environmental school and killed over 20 animals. There are also video recordings of this.
