Luisa case flood: Investigators reach out to social media users

TueAs more and more false reports about the death of 12-year-old Louise from Freudenberg have recently been circulating on various digital channels, the police and prosecutors felt it necessary to issue a joint appeal on Friday. “Due to widespread public interest and the sympathy associated with it, rumors continue to emerge about the alleged background to the incident,” the report said. Rumors are circulating on social media that do not correspond to the current status of the investigation.

Given the personal rights of the victim and the perpetrators, Louise’s two classmates aged 12 and 13, the investigating authorities were unable to release any detailed information. “Therefore, the prosecutor’s office and the police ask you not to engage in any speculation and stir up discussions about the background of the incident, and also to protect the relatives.”

The situation is “very, very tense”

FAZ told Siegen’s senior prosecutor Patrick Baron von Grotthuss that the situation was “very, very tense for the relatives and especially for the relatives of the victim. When wild slogans and false messages come from all sides, things get even more complicated,” so all social media users are asked to be careful. “It’s very fast these days: someone posts something and thousands of others post or change it.”

However, the flood of digital rumors did not derail the investigation, the senior prosecutor said. “We know what we have learned. That is why we can also say that some of the details posted on social media are not true.”

While the two suspected perpetrators, who are under the age of criminal responsibility, should not be investigated, Grotthuss believes police and prosecutors will look into whether there is any indication that other criminals were involved in the crime. . crime for another two or three weeks. However, there are no signs of this yet, the senior prosecutor said. However, it is important to verify the confessions of the two children. “The more objective evidence we have of this, the better.”

This also applies to the still undiscovered murder weapon. Most recently on Thursday, police were looking for a knife in a forested area near Freudenberg.
