Drama in Lübeck: Girl Jasmin dies after escaping from attacker!

A tragic turn has occurred in the idyll at night outside Lübeck. A 16-year-old girl named Jasmin was hit by a truck on a country road and fatally injured. According to initial investigations, she had fled from a nearby forest, which raises questions: Who was she running from? Her brother Benni, who is severely affected, suspects that she has run away from Armin Lange, who was recently released from a psychiatric hospital. Lágen became involved in an argument with Benni that revolved around Jasmin, which only added to the complexity of the situation.

However, the investigating officers Finn Kiesewetter and Lars Englen do not allow suspicion against Armin. They believe the evidence against him is insufficient, which further inflames tempers in the surrounding neighborhood. Under Benni's leadership, a lynch mob emerges that obviously fuels the spiral of violence. The situation escalates further when Benni, drunk and angry about the incident, storms into Sarah Lehmann's farm, where the truck driver Dieter Röder is also present. There are riots here that cannot go unanswered - Kiesewetter and Englen have to intervene and arrest Benni.

The role of the neighborhood

The dynamics in the neighborhood are tense. Sarah Lehmann, under whose care Armin lives, firmly believes in his innocence. She is convinced that he lovingly looks after her eight-year-old son Tobi. But Sarah's boyfriend Bernd Harms is described as impulsive and prone to violent outbursts. This raises concerns that the existing conflicts between the neighbors could continue to boil over. Tobi, who is trying to protect his mother, is caught in the tense situation and finds himself caught between two fronts.

The rumors and assumptions circulating in the neighborhood point to a larger issue: juvenile crime in Germany. Statistics show that youth violence peaked last year at around 13,800 cases - more than double the level in 2016. The numbers among young people aged 14 to 17 also indicated a worrying increase, raising doubts about the prevention measures used to date.

Exploring the causes

In a larger context, one might ask what is causing this increase in violence among young people. Experts suspect psychological stress caused by the Corona measures as well as a number of risk factors, especially among young people seeking protection. The increase in crime rates among boys could also be due to hormonal changes and acquired behavior. An emphasis will be placed on greater prevention in order to prevent criminal lives and avoid violent outbreaks like the one in Jasmin's case.

The compelling constellation that has emerged from the events surrounding Jasmin fuels the community's need for answers and justice. As investigators continue to try to shed light, those involved face an uncertain and emotional time that could reveal deeper societal questions.
