Did 13-year-old Finja take the deadly drugs voluntarily? The parents have their doubts and cannot believe it. Ultimately, the investigations of the police must show.
The parents of the after taking a The 13-year-old girl from Altentreptow in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania who died from the ecstasy pill do not believe that her daughter took the drug voluntarily.
“She definitely didn’t do it voluntarily,” said the mother in an interview with “stern TV am Sonntag” (RTL). Because only days before, her daughter Finja had witnessed the collapse of a friend herself after taking drugs and was very afraid for her life.
Police are also investigating whether the teens may have been given the Blue Punisher ecstasy pill. No possibility is currently being ruled out, since little is known about the circumstances that led to her death, said a spokeswoman for the police in Neubrandenburg. Since all pills are pressed from powder, it is also possible in principle to dissolve them in liquids.
According to the police, among other things, the toxicological report could provide further insights. This includes the question of whether only one substance or several led to the death of the young people. The 13-year-old died in hospital a week ago.
Fear for the life of the girlfriend
The parents said that Finja, in a panic, told them about an incident with a friend where she thought her friend was going to die. She immediately noticed their seizures and shortness of breath and the treatment in the hospital. Finja herself confirmed that her friend collapsed after taking drugs.
Due to the fear that Finja had for her friend’s life, the parents expressed their conviction that their daughter later did not take the “Blue Punisher” ecstasy pill voluntarily. “She said she doesn’t do that,” emphasized the mother. The parents made an appeal to all children and young people: “Don’t take any colored pills! If something is offered, don’t take it! Go away, call the police! It mustn’t happen again that someone dies because of the stuff.”
During the interview, the parents appeared composed on the outside, but desperate on the inside. “You’re standing in front of a deep black hole, you’re actually just working and you think: Why?” said the mother. “Our life is actually destroyed,” said the father. “She was a happy girl.”
The time was missing
After their daughter was admitted, the parents went to the clinic in Neubrandenburg. “Then everything happened very, very quickly. It was crazy,” said the mother. Finja didn’t react to anything anymore. The father said the doctors didn’t have the time. “You did everything for our daughter with all your might. You couldn’t help her anymore. There was simply not enough time. It happened so quickly.”
After the girl’s death, an arrest warrant was issued against a 37-year-old who, according to the Neubrandenburg district court, is said to have given narcotics to minors in two cases. However, no arrest warrant was issued against a 17-year-old due to a lack of grounds for arrest. The police initially arrested four suspects.
Incidents involving the chemical drug “Blue Punisher” are currently causing a stir in several federal states. This is a special form of ecstasy tablets. Origin and active ingredient may vary independently. Recently, such pills were noticed by an apparently very high and dangerous concentration.
