Schoolgirl found in Berlin-Marzahn
A body has been found in the search for missing 13-year-old Lisa T. from Berlin-Marzahn. According to the public prosecutor's office, it is the missing girl who had been missing since Tuesday. As zdfheute.de reports, investigators are treating it as a capital crime.
The girl left her home on Tuesday at approximately 7:20 am to go to school. Police initially assumed that Lisa had not voluntarily removed herself from her environment. On Friday, the authorities launched a large-scale search involving hundreds of officers – using tracker dogs, helicopters and underwater drones.
In connection with Lisa's death, a suspect has been arrested. The man is said to have severely injured himself and is in a critical condition, according to police spokesman Michael Petzold. The focus of the investigation was on the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district in north-east Berlin, where the girl lived. Police systematically searched the residential area, surrounding green spaces and routes that the schoolgirl regularly used.
