Another Interfamily Quarrel in Baden-Würtenberg — 15 Year Old Stabbed to Death

A youth dies in the Heilbronn district, and his father and brother are found seriously injured: the police assume this is an act within the family.

[Spiegel] After the death of a young person near Güglingen in Baden-Württemberg, the police investigated. Stabbing injuries were found on the body of the 15-year-old, the officials said. His 17-year-old brother and 54-year-old father were taken to hospital with stab wounds.

"Many things are still unclear, but we currently assume that the crime took place within the family," said a police spokesman. "According to our investigations, the father and brother are the only people who were present during the crime."

Whether the stab wounds led to the 15-year-old's death will only be known after an autopsy. Investigators have so far not commented on murder weapons.

The 15-year-old was therefore killed on Saturday night in a residential building on an Aussiedlerhof in the Heilbronn district. The father and brother are currently not available for questioning because of their serious injuries, the police said. The investigators now wanted to interview family members and acquaintances.

According to the police, a family member made an emergency call

The teenagers and the father lived together on the property. No information has so far been given on the mother of the dead boy. Shortly after one o'clock, the emergency services were informed by an emergency call that there had been a dispute in the relatively secluded house and that there were several injuries. According to the police, the emergency call was made by one of the three family members.

Numerous officials secured the traces at the crime scene in Güglingen. The investigators let a drone circle over the Aussiedlerhof. According to the police, between 40 and 50 officers are working on the case.

The act took place just hours after a serious crime in Rot am See, just over 100 kilometers away. Six people were killed there on Friday. A marksman [The authorities still haven’t released the names of the perpetrator.]  is suspected of shooting his father, mother and four other relatives in the small town in north-east Baden-Württemberg. According to the investigators, the man is said to have killed his victims with a pistol and then reported himself to the police.
