She gave birth to six children. So Christiane K. * (27) apparently decided that the little ones had to die. Only one thing is said to have left the 27-year-old alive. Marcel, the firstborn (11). After the act of terror, Mom took the 11-year-old boy to Düsseldorf Central Station, put the boy on the train with her grandmother, and then threw herself in front of S-Bahn line 1. Christiane K. survived seriously injured.
At the same time, emergency services discovered the bodies of the five children in the apartment on Thursday. Christiane K.’s grandmother alerted police after speaking with her daughter on the phone. Emergency services immediately rushed to the apartment building. But any help came too late for the little ones. They were poisoned, investigators suspect. Possibly with tablets. The bodies showed no visible injuries. A toxicological test was ordered, as reported by the ‘Bild’.
It is still unclear what may have prompted Christiane K. to her act of terror. “What exactly happened, when and why we don’t know yet, it is just a very tragic situation,” said police spokesman Stefan Weiand. The German will be asked about this as soon as he can be questioned.
“I have learned to hide the pain”
The 27-year-old proved herself to be a loving mother on social media. In one photo, she kisses her firstborn on the mouth. She got it at 16 years old. More children were born over the years. Then the marriage in 2013. The family also had animals, several dwarf rabbits and the dog Balu.
But the young woman apparently always had problems to contend with. In 2012 she wrote: “I have learned to hide pain, to endure suffering and to laugh with tears in my eyes. Just to make others happy and show them that I’m ‘okay’. “
Two years later, this entry follows: “First you lose the love of your life and then your apartment catches fire.” Then, in late April 2020, a police operation. Her husband tried to kill himself. Christiane K. was able to prevent her husband’s suicide, as “Bild” reports.
“All my brothers are dead”
It seemed all was too much for the young mother on Thursday. The pain was too great and five children lost their lives. Max, a friend of Marcel’s who was the only one his mother saved, noticed that something was wrong even before the tragedy. “It was mostly a bit sad,” the school friend describes the 11-year-old to “RTL.” Apparently it existed in the family before the drama.
And then on Thursday afternoon, Max got a screenshot from a friend via WhatsApp. In it: a message from Marcel that he had sent to a friend. The Solingen survivor wrote: “I just wanted to tell you that you won’t see me anymore because all my brothers are dead.” At first, his friends could hardly believe it. But when they saw the police and rescuers around the apartment building, they slowly understood what had happened.
Minute of mourning for the dead
The act of horror stunned him. Solingen Mayor Tim Kurzbach (SPD) was visibly shocked after visiting the crime scene. “Today is a day in which we in Solingen are very sad because an act has occurred that has deeply touched our hearts,” the politician said yesterday. In the evening, Kurzbach and other politicians from various parties appeared in silence for a minute of mourning.
State Interior Minister Herbert Reul was also surprised: “The family drama in Solingen fills me with great sadness, and at this moment I am with my thoughts and my prayers with five young children who were torn from life so terribly early”. (jmh / SDA)
