Shock in Leipzig: 13-year-old stabs sister – dead!

In a shocking incident in Leipzig, a 13-year-old is said to have stabbed her seven-year-old sister. No one else was present at the tragic incident that happened in the children's apartment. The condition of the little sister, who was taken to the clinic with serious injuries, could not be saved - she died just a few minutes after the alarm was raised.

On Friday evening, the 13-year-old called the emergency number herself and alerted the emergency services. This led the police to an ugly picture: the little sister was lying seriously injured in the apartment. The police operation caused a stir in the quiet residential area in the Kleinzschocher district. The residents also noticed the tragedy of the event, but there were no flowers or candles.

Murder weapon seized – police assume serious crime

The circumstances of the crime are devastating and raise questions. The parents were not at home at the time of the crime and were informed about what had happened by a crisis intervention team. The 13-year-old is now receiving psychological care. “It's a tragic case,” explained Ricardo Schulz from the Leipzig public prosecutor's office, while investigators seized the possible murder weapon with traces of blood. The police are not releasing any details about the type of weapon; an autopsy on the body will provide information about what happened.

Although the 13-year-old is not of criminal responsibility for her crime - the age of criminal responsibility in Germany is 14 - the investigators will do everything in their power to clarify the background. In similar cases, the authorities act cautiously to protect the children affected. It remains to be seen what action the youth authorities will take in this shocking case. Excitement over possible changes to the age of criminal responsibility remains high among citizens, especially after similar atrocities that made headlines in the past.
