Police have arrested a 17-year-old for attempted murder. He is accused of seriously injuring a 58-year-old woman in the head with a sharp object during a major argument in front of a youth center in Obersendling on Friday a week ago. Commissariat 11, which is responsible for homicides, identified the student, who was already known to the police, as a suspect; the public prosecutor’s office saw the murder characteristic of base motives as a given and then obtained an arrest warrant from the district court. On Friday morning, police officers arrested the 17-year-old and searched his living quarters for evidence.
Because there was also an arrest warrant against his 18-year-old brother, he was also arrested. The older man, also still a student, had already been identified as a suspect in a case of predatory extortion in August by Commissariat 23, which is responsible for typical youth crime and young serious offenders. At that time, a group of young people at the Ostbahnhof had attacked a 14-year-old under the threat of violence Baseball cap removed.
Because the 18-year-old continued to commit violent crimes, the court recognized a risk of repetition and issued an arrest warrant. This is based on predatory extortion, the most serious crime. The two brothers have already appeared in the past with dangerous bodily harm, robbery and threats. Both are now in custody.
