Overview
- Police and prosecutors said initial findings point to third‑party involvement, and the body is believed to be Fabian, 8, who was reported missing on Friday; formal identification and further investigative steps are underway.
- The discovery followed a multi‑day search deploying up to 200 personnel, rescue dogs, divers and helicopters, including canine alerts at the Inselsee on Monday evening that did not yield a find.
- On the A3 in Lower Bavaria, a car was pushed under a lorry between Hengersberg and Deggendorf on Monday evening, killing the 26‑year‑old driver; lanes were closed for hours as traffic police investigated.
- Two separate Hesse crashes on the A5 scattered cargo and shut lanes: near Alsfeld a panne lorry rolled backward and was struck, spilling food and alcohol and causing at least €300,000 in damage, and near Friedberg a meat‑laden truck lost its load after leaving the road; no drivers were injured, but clean‑ups continued into the morning.
- On the A24 near Neuruppin, a transporter drove into the rear of a standing lorry in slow traffic and the driver died at the scene, as investigators documented the crash and imposed a full closure; in an unrelated case, a 33‑year‑old suspect in a Manching warehouse break‑in was arrested and remanded while a second suspect is sought.
