excuse
A 14-year-old boy has been arrested by police on suspicion of murder. The second perpetrator, a 13-year-old boy, has been taken to a closed institution. He is too young to be arrested. Under German law, you are only criminally liable if you are over 14 years old.
At first, a third teenager appeared to be involved in the tragic event, but he was only a witness. The police have since released him.
The suspects knew the girl. They went to school together and lived in the same neighborhood. It appears that the three had a “hostile relationship” with each other, police said. Officers suspect Anastasia was lured to the crime scene on an excuse. The girl would not have expected the boys to become violent.
