Teenager tragically dies in North Rhine-Westphalia; 17-year-old suspect under investigation
Gen the lowdown? A 14-year-old met their end on a playground in Menden's Sauerland district, after a nasty scuffle strung together by a bunch of rowdy individuals. The horrifying part? A 17-year-old, already on the police's radar, is suspected of being the one who dealt the fatal stab wound, as per investigations.
The suspect, with a chilling grin, bolted from the scene post-incident. A spokesperson from the force told us, "We're hot on the trail of this creep." They even flashed a mugshot of the culprit around town.
One more teen, 17, got caught in the fray and sustained a nasty stab wound, but they're stable and hanging in there. The po-po's keeping tight-lipped about the specifics, so we're in the dark about how this disaster unfolded.
The homicide squad's now on the job and working tirelessly to crack the case. With the city's population hovering around 53,000 residents, Menden is part of the Märkischer Kreis, hidden in the scenic plains of North Rhine-Westphalia.
