Twelve-year-old Luise was found killed last weekend. Now the investigators have achieved a breakthrough in the case: two children from Luise's circle of acquaintances, who, according to the public prosecutor's office, are under 14 years old and therefore of criminal responsibility, have confessed to having committed the crime.
The tragic death of Luise
The two girls, aged 12 and 13, are said to have killed Luise with “numerous knife stabs,” said senior public prosecutor Mario Mannweiler. The suspects were handed over to the custody of the youth welfare office because they cannot be prosecuted due to their age. For this reason, no further information can be given about the course of the crime, the motive, the behavior before and after the crime, or the girls' current whereabouts. However, investigators confirmed that the two suspects were in a protected area.
The case also raises questions about the German criminal justice system, as children up to the age of 14 are not considered to be of criminal responsibility. This means that the two girls do not have to go to prison, but are looked after by the youth welfare office. The youth welfare office can order help with raising the child, organize individual social-educational support or placement in a home or with a foster family.
Luise from Freudenberg disappeared on Saturday evening when she was on the way home from a friend and never got there. On Sunday morning, her body was found about five kilometers from her home near a former train station in Rhineland-Palatinate. The police ruled out a sexual offense as a motive for the crime.
The crime deeply shocked the city of Freudenberg and the entire region. The police and the public prosecutor's office are continuing their investigations to clarify the exact course of the crime and the motive.
