In Heide in Schleswig-Holstein, a recent act of violence among young girls is shocking.
A group is said to have tortured a 13-year-old for hours.
Update from Tuesday, March 21, 2023, 1:28 p.m .
: When asked, a police spokeswoman from Heide confirmed the case.
Although the shocking act happened at the end of February, not all of the accused have been questioned.
"The investigation into the case is ongoing," the spokeswoman said.
The fact that the interrogations drag on for weeks also has to do with the young age of the alleged attackers.
Since the accused are minors, a legal guardian must always be present during the interrogation, explains the police spokeswoman.
This causes difficulties in finding an appointment.
