A youth from Wunstorf near Hanover is said to have been killed by a friend. The cause of death is now established.
In the case of the killed 14-year-old boy from Wunstorf in Lower Saxony, blunt force trauma is the cause of death. “This is the result of the autopsy report,” said Can Türkay, spokesman for the Hanover public prosecutor’s office. The juvenile court judge responsible had ordered custody for the suspect of the same age on Thursday because the murder characteristic of insidiousness – as requested – was seen.
The 14-year-old victim was unsuspecting and defenseless, the investigators explained their point of view. The suspect was taken to the Hamelin Juvenile Institution. However, many questions remain unanswered in this case. The motive for the crime is unclear.
The father of the dead man reported his son missing on Tuesday evening because he had not returned home from a meeting with a 14-year-old from Wunstorf. The body of the missing boy was only discovered on Wednesday on a wasteland in the village of Wunstorf-Blumenau.
