Tragic turning point: Orphans after New Year's Eve murder in Schönberg!

In a tragic twist in the Schönberger case that still stirs emotions, it happened on New Year's Eve 2018/2019 when 39-year-old Nina D. was killed by an unidentified gunshot. The incident occurred shortly after midnight while she was watching the fireworks with others. To this day, the identity of the perpetrator remains unknown, as do the exact circumstances that led to this tragic event. The Kiel homicide commission and the public prosecutor's office tried to clarify the matter, but without any significant progress. How KN Online Reportedly, all investigative approaches have been exhausted so far, prompting the police to search for witnesses again. People who fired a gun in Schönberg that night are being asked to come forward and a reward of 3,000 euros has been offered for crucial information to further the investigation.

What makes the situation even more serious? Six years after the fatal incident, the father of the two children died, who are now orphans. These children, a 14-year-old daughter and seven-year-old twins, were taken in by their aunt from Schwentinental, who herself is struggling with financial difficulties as a single parent. In view of these sad circumstances, Patrickwachter, a neighbor and father of four children, took the initiative and collected around 3,000 euros in donations for the affected family in the last three weeks. His call under the title “Three orphaned children” on gofundme.de shows how great the need for support is in the community.

Public interest in the family was high, and the media besieged the family in the aftermath of the incident. Starting with the traumatic loss of her mother, which has not yet been processed, the 14-year-old in particular is faced with major emotional challenges. It is important to remember that the closeness that parents provided to children cannot be replaced by sudden loss. The children's aunt, regardless of her daily work, now has to care for the children's emotional well-being in addition to her own needs.

The situation is not only a personal drama for the family affected, but also raises questions about crime. Despite a general decrease in crime in Germany, which fell by 1.7% in 2024, public perceptions of security often remain impaired. As the Statista data shows, crimes such as murder and manslaughter account for a minimal percentage, but the feeling of security is strongly influenced by cases that receive a lot of media attention. The clearance rate was 58% in 2024, meaning that justice is not achieved in every case. Especially in the case of Nina D. and the associated tragedy, many questions still seem to be unanswered.

Will the case ever be solved? The hope for the family of the lost mother remains that new witnesses or clues will come to light that might finally shed light on the matter. Until then, the support of people like Patrick Waechter remains a ray of hope in a very dark time.
