Shocking case in Güstrow: Eight-year-old Fabian brutally murdered!
In the shocking story that shakes Güstrow, eight-year-old Fabian becomes visible as the victim of a deadly violent crime. The public prosecutor's office is investigating his disappearance on October 10th, and the alleged murder took place on the day of his disappearance. The police assume that the boy was killed between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and then dumped in the forest near Klein Upahl. In order to cover up traces, his body was apparently set on fire. A post-mortem examination has confirmed that Fabian was the victim of a violent crime and the investigation is well underway. NDR reports that an expanded homicide squad has been set up to investigate the case.
Fabian didn't go to school on that day because he felt unwell and stayed home alone. When his mother came home from work, he was no longer there. She reported him missing that evening, which triggered an extensive search for the child. After several days of intensive searching, his body was discovered in Klein Upahl on October 14th. While investigators search the area, they are asking the public for help. Senior public prosecutor Harald Nowack has expressed the hope that witnesses who were near Güstrow on October 10th will come forward. The aim is to understand the events surrounding Fabian's disappearance in more detail. The call for possible witnesses was even broadcast on the ZDF program “Aktenzeichen XY… unsolved”. In Franconia reports that there have been no arrests so far.
Community in mourning mode
The tragedy has left the city in a state of mourning. Last Thursday a funeral service for Fabian was held in Güstrow, attended by hundreds of people. Among them were many of his football teammates who released balloons to commemorate their friend. Mayor Sascha Zimmermann said that the mood in Güstrow was tense and that many parents were clearly worried. A DNA analysis confirmed that the body found was indeed Fabian. This has greatly affected the city and its citizens.
The investigation is intensive both in the city and in the surrounding areas. The police searched various locations, including a farm in Reimershagen and a waste disposal company north of Güstrow. Protective suits and special equipment were also used to search through old clothing and other items. The police used sniffer dogs that were able to follow Fabian's trail to the Güstrow bus station. A note to help: If you were in the area at the time in question, please contact the authorities.
There are many unanswered questions and the investigation continues at full speed. Police have strongly warned the public to avoid speculating about possible perpetrators on social media in order not to jeopardize the investigation. Everyone hopes that the truth about Fabian's fate will soon be revealed and justice will be achieved for the little boy.
