After the violent death of a ten-year-old girl in a children’s home in Wunsiedel, Upper Franconia, another suspect is being investigated. A 25-year-old German is in custody, police and prosecutors said on Friday. There is a suspicion of a homicide and a sex crime. The man was arrested on Thursday.
A comparison of secured traces resulted in a match. The man comes from the district of Wunsiedel. He was not an employee of the child welfare facility, said Matthias Goers, spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office in Hof, the German Press Agency.
There is also a suspicion in the case of an eleven-year-old boy who lived in the facility. The ten-year-old was found dead in her room in the child and youth welfare facility in Wunsiedel at the beginning of April. According to the police, she died as a result of trauma to the neck.
