In Aschersleben, a boy was bagging up his Jack Russell terrier’s remains when he was grabbed and locked in the trunk of a car. When his mother couldn’t reach him, she called the police.
According to the report, the kidnappers initially drove a few kilometers with their victims. They stopped in a secluded spot and opened the trunk. They then led the boy to an old iron fence and stuck the 13-year-old’s two hands to it with superglue.
Mother can locate her son’s cell phone
The boy’s mother told the newspaper that her son and his dog usually return from their walk after around 30 minutes. “After half an hour had passed, we started to worry, we rang his cell phone, wrote messages,” she said.
Even though the boy still had his cell phone with him, he couldn’t answer her with his hands glued to it. Luckily, she was able to locate her son’s cell phone. “I went there straight away. When I saw him crouching there so helpless and suffering, my mother’s heart almost burst,” the mother is quoted as saying.
Aschersleben police are looking for the perpetrators
She called the police and fire department on site. However, the rescue workers were initially unable to remove the boy’s hands from the fence. Instead, they sawed off the iron brace and sent the boy to the hospital with it. There, the doctors finally managed to remove the glue – but not without injuries to the victim’s hands.
About his kidnapping, the 13-year-old told “Bild”: “When the trunk was slammed, I was scared to death. I was so incredibly happy that I [meinen Hund] Rocky had with me.” Nothing is yet publicly known about the motive or identity of the two perpetrators. According to a spokesman, the police had already secured extensive evidence over the weekend. The criminal police are investigating deprivation of liberty and grievous bodily harm.
