“At this time, we have to start from the basis that the crime was committed by two minors from the environment of the dead,” said the chief prosecutor of Koblenz, Mario Mannweiler, at a press conference, who described the case as “special”. .
Luise, the victim, disappeared on Saturday the 11th when she was returning to her home in the town of Freudenberg, in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (West) after visiting a friend, and her lifeless body was discovered on Sunday the 12th by afternoon in a wooded area.
The autopsy determined that “the girl died as a result of numerous stab wounds and the consequent great loss of blood,” the prosecutor said.
On Monday the 13th, the Koblenz prosecutor’s office and police had confirmed that “there were no indications of a sexual offence.”
Apparently, the minors were interrogated several times and on Monday the 13th they finally admitted the crime, according to Jürgen Süs, head of the criminal investigation police.
The prosecutor refused to provide data on the motive, the behavior of the girls before and after allegedly committing the crime, or their whereabouts, as they were minors.

The police continued to search this Tuesday for 14 new clues in the place where the girl’s body was found, in the territory of the neighboring federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and especially the knife or knives used in the stabbing.
Meanwhile, the head of the Government of North Rhine-Westaflia, Hendrik Wüst, today conveyed his condolences to the families and relatives of the minor in a brief appearance before the press.

He assured that the authorities are doing everything in their power to clarify how “this terrible crime” could have occurred.
He added that for years there has been a “worrying increase” in criminal acts, also committed by children under 14 years of age, of which this crime “is a disturbing highlight.”
