Brandenburg’s Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) described the news of the death of a 15-year-old girl from Rathenow as “very depressing”. The investigating authorities suspect that the girl’s death was related to the consumption of chemical drugs. “Investigations into the background are in full swing, but we can’t comment on the details at the moment,” Stübgen said on Wednesday. However, this case shows “in a dramatic way” why the fight against drug-related crime is so important.
The 15-year-old died in hospital over the weekend. According to the public prosecutor’s office, a house search had already been carried out as part of the death investigation. According to media reports, this is the apartment of a drug dealer in Rathenow. The prosecutor’s office did not confirm this. The spokeswoman did not want to provide any further information in view of the age of the dead.
