It was again an act among peers. The police assume that an eleven-year-old boy was the only one involved in the murder of the ten-year-old in an Upper Franconian children’s aid facility.
The results of securing evidence “point to the involvement of an eleven-year-old boy from the facility in Wunsiedel,” said the police and public prosecutor on Friday.
“Since the eleven-year-old boy is not criminally responsible, he was placed in a secure facility as a preventive measure.”
The girl was found dead in her room in the child and youth welfare facility on Tuesday.
The public prosecutor assumed a homicide.
