Murder Update

 Back around six months ago, there was an exceptionally brutal murder to occur in Ravensburg (far SW, along the Swiss border), Germany.  

N-TV had the update this morning.  

What the cops would say is that this 62-year old woman was returning from work....walking home, and was assaulted in an extreme way (dying in the end).  A knife in the neck.  

Police viewed video of the area, and came to conclude there was a suspect, which they'd had run-in's with her before.  Suspect?  15-year-old German girl.

What was taken?  Some cash, the purse, and the cellphone....that was it.

Court came up yesterday.  Max that they could hand out is ten years to a juvenile offender.  Judge handed down a 9.5 year sentence to the teenage German girl....now 16 years old.  Then he laid down the permanent placement card.

In Germany, if enough viciousness is noted in the crime, and indications exist of a long-term potential for committing more crime.....they can just say that when your official sentence is up....you don't leave.  So in this case.....all of the past crimes of this girl was added up.

Rare occurrence here in Germany for the permanent placement situation?  Yeah.  Especially for a teen.
