Minor sought after fatal knife attack in Castrop-Rauxel
A teenager died from a stab wound to the neck on 14 January at about 18:20 on Wartburgstraße in Castrop-Rauxel. A minor was initially detained and released after questioning because self-defence against a sexual assault could not initially be ruled out. Following further inquiries, including an examination of her mobile phone, prosecutors and police said there were concrete indications that she had planned and carried out the killing with a knife without justification and by exploiting the victim's lack of suspicion. A warrant has been in place since 23 January over urgent suspicion of murder, and the minor remains wanted.
