This tragic incident is said to have taken place in Erfurt.
As an addition to the shared article, you can also read about a “very rare mental illness”. The same photo and the same story can also be found with the town of Straubing.

What now – Erfurt or Straubing? It is not uncommon for such fake reports to be created in different locations.
Phishing widespread
We already know this pattern. This is about murder. Comparably designed phishing attacks revolve around train accidents , plane crashes or even traffic accidents .
These topics alone are enough to arouse users' emotions. If you then mention a place where you live, where friends or acquaintances are at home, then such a story is even more attractive. And the faster it clicks. – The scammers behind these sites also know this.
Users assume that details can be found by clicking on this link. When did this happen, what were the exact circumstances? Who was the friend? But instead...
Facebook login
Even though they are already on Facebook, users are asked to enter their login details again. You should pay attention to the URL, because it is not that of Facebook . Rather, what you have here is a fake Facebook page.
If you enter your login details here, they will go directly to the scammers behind this site.
The Straubing police also looked into this Facebook post and informed them that it was a fake.
Dubious sites
Often these links also contain pages with dubious and dubious content. Bitcoin platforms where you can invest your money are often displayed here. Here too you should exercise caution.
Conclusion
You should be suspicious from the outset when it comes to reports that are not published by official authorities and involve serious accidents - or, as in this case, even murder. If the information is as inaccurate as in this text, one can assume that there is no official call behind it.
Therefore, always check whether there is any truth to the story. The more spectacular it sounds, the greater the likelihood that fraudsters are at work here - as in this case: This tragic story is fictitious!
