After the death of a ten-year-old girl, the children’s aid facility in Wunsiedel, Upper Franconia, continues to try to deal with the incident with professional help. It is important for the children, young people and employees to experience a bit of normality, said a spokeswoman for the Catholic youth welfare of the Regensburg diocese on Tuesday. “The colleagues do everything to make this possible.” The youth welfare is responsible for the facility.
Almost a week after the alleged homicide became known, the mood in the city was still very depressed, said the second mayor of Wunsiedel, Manfred Söllner (SPD), on Tuesday. Most of the population is in deep mourning. The local politician said he still couldn’t believe what had happened. The public prosecutor’s office in Hof does not want to provide any further information on the investigations in the case. Prosecutor Matthias Goers referred on Tuesday to the age of those involved and the ongoing investigations. As soon as there is a new status to report, the public will be informed.
The ten-year-old was found dead in her room in the child and youth welfare facility in Wunsiedel on Tuesday last week. Investigators assume a homicide.
