Shock in Leipzig: 13-year-olds stabs sister-dead!

A 13-year-old seriously injured her sister sister in Leipzig, who died a little later. The incident occurred when the two children were alone at home. The 13-year-old put an emergency call, the police found the injured girl in the apartment. Despite immediate medical help, the child could not be saved. The parents were not present at the time of the incident and were then informed by a crisis intervention team. The case has shaken investigators because the 13-year-old is not punishable-according to the German Criminal Code, children under the age of 14 are incapable of guilt.

The police have ensured a possible murder weapon, the details of which have so far been unknown. An autopsy of the girl was ordered, the results are still pending. The investigation is handled with extreme sensitivity and restraint to protect the children involved. Measures could range from psychiatric treatment to the accommodation of the child to a foster family. Discussions about a reduction in the age of punishment increase through such tragic incidents in intensity, as has recently been shown in similar cases, reports www.mopo.de .
