reThe man who is said to have abducted a six-year-old girl in Halle last Sunday and threw her into the corridor has been in custody since Saturday noon. A judge had previously followed the prosecutor’s arrest request, said prosecutor Klaus Wiechmann of the German press agency. The 24-year-old from Halle was later taken to a prison.
At noon on Friday, the police detained the suspect at his workplace. After the chase with a ghost image, numerous leads were received, Wiechmann reported. “Several people recognized the defendant in the image.” The man’s distinctive hairstyle made him easier to recognize. The man was also easily recognizable on surveillance camera footage through partially shaved and partially colored hair.
In addition, new traces overwhelmed the detained person. A nine-member investigation team called “Elsa” had previously dealt with the case intensively.
According to the investigation, the six-year-old boy was seen in the family apartment around 7:30 a.m. When his disappearance was noted, his disappearance was reported. The suspect is said to have carried the girl mainly in his arms through the city center of Halle. The girl only wore pajamas in cold temperatures. According to the information, he lives with his parents a few hundred meters from the Saale.
Two runners discovered the boy in the river around 8:30 a.m. last Sunday and pulled him out of the cold water. Before that, calls for help could be heard. Police were initially unaware of the girl’s health on Saturday. According to information from the “Mitteldeutsche Zeitung”, the girl was transferred to a hospital after the rescue, so there was no danger to her life.
According to the sheet, the suspect broke into the family home and kidnapped and injured the girl. Consequently, the accused must have a criminal record. The accusations at the time had nothing to do with pedophilia or violence against children, the newspaper writes.
