District of Diepholz - Defendant admits killing 17-year-old girl
Following the violent death of a 17-year-old girl in the district of Diepholz, the suspect has admitted to killing the young woman after weeks of silence. The man admitted the crime to a psychiatric expert, said a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office in Verden on Thursday. However, the 42-year-old at the time of the crime did not provide any information on a possible motive. So far, the man, who is in custody, had been investigated for completed and attempted manslaughter. The newspaper "Bild" had previously reported.
On September 10, the body of the 17-year-old girl was found in a ditch in Barenburg near Kirchdorf (Diepholz district). A few days later, the suspected perpetrator was caught near Schwarmstedt in the Heidekreis district after fleeing for several hours through Lower Saxony. He had previously allegedly attacked a 30-year-old woman just a few kilometers from Barenburg in front of a fast food restaurant in Sulingen. She was seriously injured with a knife. Investigators had assumed that the crimes were connected - in both cases a knife had been the murder weapon.
The accused German did not admit to the attack on the 30-year-old woman. However, according to the public prosecutor's office, he admitted to being at the scene of the crime. The spokesperson for the public prosecutor's office said that it was not yet possible to predict when the investigations could be concluded.
