The 14-year-old Josfine H. was missing in Aschersleben for days. On Wednesday the worst assumption was confirmed: the girl is dead. Now the public prosecutor’s office has arrested a boy of the same age on an urgent basis.

After the death of 14-year-old Josefine from Aschersleben in Saxony-Anhalt, an arrest warrant was issued against a youth of the same age on the basis of an urgent suspicion of manslaughter. He was taken to a youth institution after the Magdeburg district court issued the arrest warrant at the request of the public prosecutor. This was announced by the police and public prosecutor in Magdeburg on Thursday. A second 14-year-old was released due to a lack of suspicion, according to the information.

Josefine was found on Wednesday in a huge garage complex, which lies desolate and dilapidated between the industrial area and the cemetery. The police secured traces until late at night. The area was cordoned off over a large area. In the meantime, a special commission (SoKo) has been set up to deal with the case.

Missed since Thursday last week

The 14-year-old had been missing since Thursday last week. On that day, she had wanted to meet her ex-boyfriend to hand over personal items. At around 3:30 p.m. she had called another friend, after which she could no longer be reached. Her parents later reported her missing.

On Thursday, hundreds of people expressed their grief over the death of Josefine, who had been missing for a long time, at the wood market in Aschersleben – a town with almost 27,000 inhabitants. They lit candles, laid down flowers and stuffed animals. A framed letter says: “You were torn from life far too soon.” In another: “Best friends forever.”

The police had secured traces in the find area until late Thursday night. The area was cordoned off over a large area. Then a special commission (SoKo) was set up to deal with the case.
