Update on Kandel Murder

I essayed back two months ago about the murder of the young German girl in Kandel by the the Afghan kid who claimed he was near 15 years old.

The court assigned a medical team to assess his 'real' age, and they came to the conclusion today of roughly 17.5 years old to 20 years old. 

Because of this age thing....the prosecutor will continue on, and likely prosecute the case with the kid as a juvenile. 

Locals buying into this?  It's hard to say.

The exam is based on science, with x-rays of hands, teeth and collarbones as part of the deal.

Making an effort to go back to his village and actually talk with locals who might remember him?  So far....nothing.  This is the surprising part about this case.  You'd think that some German police effort would involve going to the region and talking to locals if they remember him or his age.
