Body at farm in Altglietzen identified
As heute.at reports, citing "Bild" and "n-tv.de", the 13-year-old Lisa, who had been missing in Berlin for days, has been found dead. A spokesman for the public prosecutor's office confirmed that the body discovered on a farm in the state of Brandenburg is indeed the schoolgirl.
Lisa from the Berlin district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf left her flat on Tuesday morning at 7.17 a.m. to go to school — but she never arrived there. Her mobile phone was switched off only a few minutes after she left the flat.
From the outset, police assumed that the girl had not left her home environment "of her own free will". The murder squad and the Berlin State Criminal Police Office investigated on suspicion of a capital crime — this category includes particularly serious offences such as murder, manslaughter or serious sexual offences.
Several hundred officers were involved in the search operation. On Saturday alone, around 220 police officers were deployed, supported by specially trained search dogs and a police helicopter. The search continued on Sunday.
The exact location of discovery is in Altglietzen, a village near the Polish border — more than 50 kilometres from the girl's place of residence. A severely injured man was found beside the body of the 13-year-old. According to investigations, he is said to have inflicted the injuries on himself; he was taken to a hospital.
Police had initially been called due to a possible trespass at the farm — then came the horrific discovery.
