In der „LWL Kinder- und Jugendpsychatrie“ in Paderborn soll eine 13-jährige Patientin eine Betreuerin mit einem spitzen Gegenstand angegriffen haben.

Overview

  • The patient was taken into police custody and has been transferred to a closed psychiatric facility managed by Kreis Paderborn.
  • The 24-year-old caregiver underwent emergency surgery and has since been removed from immediate life-threatening condition.
  • A murder commission convened by Bielefeld police and Paderborn prosecutors is probing whether the attack was politically or Islamist-motivated.
  • Security authorities are reviewing how the girl accessed a knife during a cooking session despite prior warnings and the brief absence of a guard.
  • German law on under-14s precludes criminal proceedings, so the girl faces administrative detention and psychiatric treatment instead of prosecution.
