Tirkedie in Floß: Nine -year -old dies during amocran in Magdeburg

in the Upper Palatinate Markt Floß is mourned around the nine -year -old André, who died on Friday in a tragic attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg. The boy, who had recently moved to Lower Saxony with his mother, leaves a large gap in his home community. Mayor Robert Lindner said: "I am speechless" and reported that many residents lit candles and put flowers on the marketplace to express their grief. The community plans to support the boy's family, which is still in close connection to Floß, since his father and some siblings live there, such as the Merkur reported.

After the attack, in which a total of five people died, the alleged perpetrator is in custody. The 50-year-old is charged five-year-old murder as well as attempted murder and serious assault. Justice Minister Franziska Weidinger has confirmed that the procedure will initially remain in Saxony-Anhalt. The events have not only floated, but also shaken the entire region, which becomes clear due to the spontaneous expression of mourning of the population. The further care of the family of the crashed boy is coordinated by the Catholic pastor Max Früchtl, who is very closely connected to the family, as is the Zeit reported.
