Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Strange Divorce Case Because of Coffee", "Prices of Houses that Foreigners Can Buy and Own in Indonesia", you may read also "How To Buy Land In Indonesia?" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Suspect Still Underage, Murder Case in Germany Closed'.

Reported by the AFP news agency, the victim, known only as Luise, disappeared in March after leaving a friend's house near the town of Freudenberg, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. His body was found with multiple stab wounds the next day in a forest area, not far from his house. Two girls aged 12 and 13 who knew Luise later confessed to the murder. Investigators said there was no sign that a third party was involved in the stabbing.[1]

German prosecutors said they had closed the murder case involving two minors. The two girls admitted to stabbing to death a 12 year old girl. This case was closed because the perpetrator of the murder was too young to be held criminally responsible. In Germany, the age of criminal responsibility begins at 14 years old.[2]

After the murder, the schoolgirls were placed under the care of juvenile welfare authorities. According to local authorities, they are currently housed in a "therapy facility" and receiving school lessons there. The case revived memories of the 1993 murder of two-year-old James Bulger in England. The boy was kidnapped and tortured before being killed by two 10-year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us then, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
